cbosdell Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I have what probably is a stupid question. What should I put in the workgroup box as my workgroup on the unattended page so it doesn't pop up while installing xp?Can I just make something up? I'm not part of a network or anything and just use ethernet to connect to my dsl.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's kinda cheesy, but if you are accidentally leaking netbios type protocols out (a possible danger if you're using a public IP). It will help (slightly) keep your computer from being browseable from the default workgroups. Edited December 30, 2007 by JoeMSFN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
