    Hi, I have been trying to change my network group name. I excepted the default of MSHOME and now I want to change it. I am running XP Home on three computers.

    Just don't use spaces in the new name and stick to alpha-numeric characters along with - (dash) or _ (underscore) in your new workgroup name. 15 characters or fewer is also a good idea although not essential with XP as I think it is with 9X systems.
