change workgroup, but it seems as if it didn't work

I have a small network with three computers. This morning I realized that
one of them(A) still had the workgroup MSHOME specified. So I changed it to
the same as the other two machines(B, C), "PMD" - it told me I had to reboot
and I did. After it had rebooted, I went to network places and browsed
machines in the workgroup. It showed the two other machines(B and C). This
seemed correct, although I didn't see the machine I was on(A) listed, but I
didn't think much of it.

Went to the other machine(B) and also browsed the workgroup from network
places, I didn't see A listed. Even though I changed A to be a part of the
"PMD" workgroup, it wasn't showing up. I have confirmed that machine A is
indeed using the PMD workgroup. I can ping all the machines from one
another, so it's not the connection.

On Machine B I tried adding the 2 shared printers connected to machine A and
in the Add Printer Wizard, it still shows the printers as being part of
"MSHOME"?!?! There is no MSHOME anymore. I have gremlins, how do I clean
all this out?

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks,
Steve Klett

Hi
Run the Network setup wizard again on all 3 Machines

Thank you, I will try this when I get back to the office. I have never used
the wizard before, but if it works... well, cool!

Thanks again for the post,
