I was trying to hook up to my home network that uses the workgroup name MSHOME but the new laptop has a workgroup name WORKGROUP and I can't figure out how to change it so it is in the same workgroup as all my Win XP computers.

i assume the new laptop Vista?
Open the Control Panel, open System, and then click Advanced System Settings in the left column.
Click the Computer Name tab in the System Properties window and then click Change.

If XP
Go to Start > My Computer > Right click > Properties > Open Computer Name tab - look for the Change button and click - you should now be able to change your WorkGroup.
Who cares who dares?
