| 1240798 | 2011-10-30 05:36:00 | Under Win7 can you have two workgroups setup for two networks, this is in a home setup for a friend, not sure why he wants two but there you go | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1240799 | 2011-10-30 05:52:00 | What is he trying to achieve. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 1240800 | 2011-10-30 10:32:00 | The workgroup isn't really an issue with win7 as it searches and shows all computers on the network generally. Eg. My laptop is setup for the work domain but sees the computers at home in a different workgroup without a problem. |

| 1240801 | 2011-10-30 18:48:00 | I have found out that their media box doesn't show up in their own workgroup, unless he changes it back to the default Workgroup then it will | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1240802 | 2011-10-30 20:15:00 | The media box should be able to be changed to whatever his normal workgroup name is, not much use to a lot of people if it can't. Also having a proper server OS on the network would probably help, at my monthly LAN group we can see dozens of workgroups. I assume because of the LAN server running Windows server(2000 I think). They are all accessible as well, pays not to leave unprotected write access enabled at the LAN :) (seen virus scanners go nuts a couple of times as every writable windows share gets attacked.) | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1240803 | 2011-10-30 23:49:00 | Teach your friend not to "browse" for it but rather to access it via IP. That, and you can have multiple workgroups on a single network, and browse between them. It works fine... |
