Naming the computers and the
workgroup
The first time you use networking in your computer, you need
to use the Windows XP Network Setup Wizard to name each
computer and the workgroup and to select other network
settings in Windows XP.
Important The network setup procedure uses the
Windows XP Network Setup Wizard. The example
screens show the screens that typically appear in
the course of using the wizard. If your network
situation differs from that used in this example, you
may encounter additional screens or screens with
different selections. Make sure that you read each
screen in the wizard and make your selections
based on your particular network situation.
