Setting workgroup identification
When you install Corel LINUX, you specified a user name. When you enable the Samba server, this user name is used to describe your computer when it appears to other users on the system. For example, if a Windows user is looking at a list of network computers available for file sharing in Windows Explorer, John Doe's Corel LINUX computer appears as "johnd_linux" if he has not changed his description. You can change your computer description in the Windows Workgroups window.
The workgroup that you are assigned to on your network is also set by default when you enable Samba Client. When you enable Samba Client, your computer becomes available on the network for file sharing with other computers, but it is located on the network in a workgroup named WORKGROUP. You can change the workgroup if you want your computer to appear in a different location on the Windows Network.
You can specify a WINS server if your network uses a WINS server for name resolution. You can also use the DNS server for name resolution if your network does not use a WINS server. For information about setting a DNS server for name resolution, see "Adding a DNS server."
To change your computer description on the network

2. Double-click Network, Windows Workgroups.
3. Type a description for your computer in the Description box.
