possible to delete a workgroup?I'm seeking to delete a work group from my home "network" because I want to
start over on the network setup. Currently I'm getting messages which indicate I can't access the other workgroup computers, because I need adminstrator permission to do so -- but I thought I was the administrator. Situation started when the former computer which I used to create the network died because of a power surge. I bought a new computer and have been unable to integrate it, so I want to start again with a new workgroup name (old network was MSHOME) The network is set up using XP and the Microsoft MN-100 base station. It provides a good DSL connection for my three computers, but I can't share files. I need help, I'm getting desperate, had someone over twice from the store where I bought the new computer, but he couldn't solve the prob.

Workgroups disappear on their own, when there are no computers with the workgroup name on the network. Instead of deleting the workgroup, which may or may not "fix" the problem, let's figure out what the problem is, and fix it that way. Take a look at "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each computer. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely (download browstat!): <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
