How do you delete a workgroup?
XP Pro SP3 on both machines. Setting up a wireless connection between them.
Both show connections, but I've not gained access yet. How do you delete a workgroup? I named the workgroup on my second computer the same as the one on my first computer thinking that was what was required. But an error line in event viewer system said computer 1 rejected the name, so I figure they must have to be different. I made another workgroup with an appended 2, but now I can't find a way to get rid of the one without the 2. -- For most of us the most danger is most politicians. JimL |

How do you delete a workgroup?
You don't really delete workgroups, you just rename them... or when on a
network with a domain controller you join the domain. I don't know what you mean by one machine "rejecting" the workgroup name, all the machines should be in the same workgroup. Please copy the event from the event log and paste it here. To copy the event click on the clipboard icon below the arrows. Edit and remove your personal information from the event if needed.

How do you delete a workgroup?
Hi
The Workgroup name must be the same use a name with no spaces and no special characters and make sure that it is exactly the same for all computers. Each computer name must be unique. If you have regular home Network do not use the Network ID button use the change button. http://www.ezlan.net/network/net-name.jpg Jack (MS, MVP-Networking). "John John - MVP" wrote in message ...

How do you delete a workgroup?
Well, if I were in a networking class I would probably make all F's. I have
tried to "get" networking for 10 or 15 years and it just never makes any sense to me, so I may have completely misunderstood what the error means. Here it is: ------------------------------------- The name "XXXXXX :1d" could not be registered on the Interface with IP address 192.168.1.101. The machine with the IP address 192.168.1.100 did not allow the name to be claimed by this machine. -------------------------------------- "John John - MVP" wrote in message ...

How do you delete a workgroup?
The machine names are simply LAPTOP and LAPTOP2.
The workgroup name I used was my last name. For all that I'm not even certain "workgroup" is the right word. It is the name just within My Network Places Entire Network Microsoft Windows Network, and it contains the computer name and icon. "Jack [MVP-Networking]" wrote in message ...

The message would usually indicate that the *computers* have identical

How are the machines obtaining their IP addresses?
At a command prompt issue the ipconfig /all command and post the results from both machines. John JimL wrote: Sorry.
