The default network settings in Windows Vista is a working network environment with minimal fuss straight out of the box but if you are connecting it to your existing network you might need to modify some of the settings for your network.
With Windows XP setting up a small network was very simple but Windows Vista Microsoft have moved things around making it that little bit more difficult to do. One of the most common questions we get asked is “How to change the workgroup in Vista”. This simple guide shows you how to change the workgroup settings in Windows Vista computers.
- Click start then click on Control Panel
- Look for and open System, and then click Advanced System Settings in the left column.
- Click the Computer Name tab in the System Properties window and then click Change.
