Hi,

Just got a G4 Powerbook (OS X 10.3.1). How do I change the workgroup name
from oh, say 'workgroup' to oh how about 'SWGC' ?

Use Directory Access (Applications, Utilities)
Click on SMB, then Configure. Change workgroup and save, quit.

Simple, but hidden very well. :)<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

In the Finder, choose Mac Help from the Help menu and type the word
"workgroup" into the search field (without the quotes) and hit Return.

Yes thanks, I did try that, but the help window kept coming up and
disappearing. Eventually I decided to restart, and it worked.

Anyway, thank you to all that responded, I now have it working.
