then type in a new name. (In this case, the fairly unimaginative 'Familyupstairs' as the computer name.) I'm sure I'm forgetting a simple step somewhere in setting up the home network. BTW: The other computer on the home network is visible, though in a different workgroup. Problem is, I backup my primary system onto this laptop, and with the names different, I'd have to reconfigure everything. It would be simpler if I could just rename it back to what it was.

I suggest that you disable or uninstall the anti-virus temporary, and disable firewall software. Then try to change the workgroup again. If the issue persists, one of the network driver files may be corrupt. In our database I found a similar case that occurred on a Gateway computer either. Please launch Event Log, check the System log and find which file the error is related http://www.networksteve.com/windows/topic.php/Unable_to_change_Network_Workgroup_Name/?TopicId=22785&Posts=9 to. After you find related information and confirm which file causes this issue, please find another Windows Vista SP1 system (not from Gateway), copy the same file and replace the file on the problematic computer manually. Please note that we need to take the ownership of the folder before you replace the file on the problematic computer. Take ownership ==================== 1.In the "Start" menu, locate "Command Prompt". Right-click and choose "Run as Administrator". If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. 2. Type the following commands, then press "Enter" to execute them one by one. Please note the space before the command and its parameter. takeown /f [full path of the file] cacls [full path of the file] /G administrators:F Hope it helps.

Can't Change Workgroup Name microsoft.public.windows.vista.networking sharing Page 1 of 2 1 2 > LinkBack Thread Tools Display Modes #1 (permalink) 04-27-2009 Jack Posts: n/a Can't Change an error occurred Workgroup Name I have a Vista PC and an XP PC and on the Vista PC, I can not change the Workgroup to the name of my home workgroup. I get an network error message when I click on the Apply button. There are no special characters or spaces in my home workgroup name. What's interesting is that when I do a Query of the Network computers on the Vista PC, I can navigate to the folders that are shared on the XP PC. The problem I'm having is that I am trying to share a printer that is physically connected to the XP machine with the Vista PC. Even though both PC's are on the same physical network but on different Workgroups, I can see my XP machine, which I thought was not possible, if you're on two different workgroups. I have temporarily turned off the Firewall on both computers, but I get the same network error message.
