Works just fine in Gnome for me. I can browse my Ubuntu machines just
fine on the workgroup/domain that I set just that way. I purposely
change from the standard MS "Workgroup" to a different name so I know
it's not using a default. From the Network Help regarding the General tab:

<quote>
General
    Allows you to modify your system host name and domain name.

However, I'll give P�r's method a try today; I wonder if you can have
multiple workgroup/domain's and assign a different one for each shared
folder.  Also, if you use that method, the wording on the shared folders
tab is:

Windows sharing
 Domain/Workgroup:

So I think it's pretty much the same & probably modifies the same conf
files.
