Giving your computer a name and a workgroup assignment is important. By doing so, you will be able to find the computer more easily on your network to share files. Some thought should be given in setting up the names and groups.
Some schools choose to name the computer by the room number in which the computer is kept.
Others choose to name the computer by the teacher's name. You can decide how best to do it for your school. The workgroup is the grouping of computers that will be shown on the same window in your network neighborhood. You can also use the workgroup to send messages as a whole on a program called WinPopup. Learn more about WinPopup in another tutorial in the workroom.
