If you are referring to the samba workgroup 'workgroup' and instead wish
to changed the workgroup name to 'Canine', add the workgroup name to the
127.0.0.1 line in /etc/hosts. For example, I use 'mshome' instead of
'workgroup', so I modify:

$ gksudo gedit /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost

to

127.0.0.1 localhost gl.mshome

gl is both my username and host name. You'd modify to:

127.0.0.1 localhost <name>.Canine

save the file and restart the broadcast daemon:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/nmbd restart
or
$ sudo service nmbd restart

Your samba shares should now be in the 'Canine' workgroup & your Windows
user(s) should now be able to attach.
