Hi there,

I'm setting up a small network at the company I work - it's a small design agency, with mainly Macs and a couple of PCs.

Everything is working fine - my only doubt is with the PCs workgroup name. If I left the PCs with the default workgroup (WORKGROUP) PCs and Macs are listed on the Network panel on the Mac. But if I change the workgroup to something else (say, the company name) I get two folders on the Network pane - My Network (where all the Macs and) and another one with the workgroup name I just set.

My question is: is it possible to change that 'My Network' name on Macs?
Thanks in advance!

Give Mac Help a shot. Search for "workgroup" and the first item is about changing the workgroup name on the Mac. Easy and simple-just use the Directory Access utility (Applications > Utilities) to configure the SMB/CIFS settings.

Already did that - but that only changes the workgroup name for the Windows file-sharing options. If I do change the workgroup on the Mac, SMB shares do appear on that workgroup - but the Personal File Sharing shares still appear on the the My Netowrk folder
