I'm a big style noob at networking but just managed to get two running one at work and one at home, although they seem to work Ok I'm still confused about where workgroups fit into all this, Set up 1 at work is 1 pc wired to a wireless router and 2 pc's on wireless, I set up the first wired pc via the installation disc that came with the isp supplied router but the disc did'nt seem to like the third party wireless hardware that came with the other 2 pc's so I added them to the network manually with windows zero wireless config, I had a problem with the first computer being seen by the others but not file or printer sharing so I ran the network setup wizard(I think thats where I went wrong I should have just enabled f/p sharing in the network connection settings) so now I have a workgroup called work and everything appears to be working My questions are does my wireless network name ie 2Wire**** have to be the same as my workgroup name in network set up? and do I need to set up a new workgroup for my home pc? everytime I switch from one network to the other the workgroup I'm in does'nt show the other so do I have to delete any old workgroup set ups that went wrong or do they self delete when I start a new 1?
