Upon recently deploying Linux (Ubuntu v4.10 beta), the first task I had in mind was to be able to network with my Windows workstations. I had no problem what so ever connecting to the computers in my home, but I could not figure out how to actually join the MSHOME group. Come to find, it is an easy task…. Laughable once figure out
To join a Windows Workgroup (MSHOME, etc)
- Go to the “System” menu
- Go to “Administration“
- Select “Network“
- Go to the “General” tab
- Host Name: What you want your computer to be named on the network
- Domain: equivilant to WORKGROUP in Windows. Put your workgroupo here (ex: MSHOME)
