[Question] File sharing in multiple workgroups

Recommended Posts

Can files be shared across different workgroups on the same segment. i.e. segment = 192.168.0.1, one WG = A, another is B. Can you share a folder/file on a PC in WG A with the PC's in WG B? Thanks. The answer is yes I have discovered. So what would be the point in having more than one workgroup name?

Workgroup allow to regroup PC in same place when you naviguate in "Computer near me" (I have french version sorry ... I suppose the name)

Exemple in a sbe :

Workgroup Administration (pc names : A1, A2, A3)

Worgroup Commercial (pc names: C1,C2,C3)

All view all, but each pc when it look in "Computers near me" see just PC in his worgroup, to view other it must look in "Microsoft networks" ...

To resume it just for more organizethe network ...

I hope you understand me ;-)

Goodbye.
