Workgroups (2° posting cos no replies)

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Hi

I'm useless on Networks and workgroups so patience please

I have installed Hamachi on my computer (a type of private P2P software)

To get it to work, I also had to create a local Network.

While creating the local network one of the instructions were as follows.

"From now on keep on going 'next' and select the Hamachi virtual adapter as
your network connection."

But the option never came up and the Workgroup was created anyway.

So now I'd like to get into the properties of the Workgroup or delete it and
start again.

But when I right click on the Workgroup, I only get a 'General' Tab which
says
'Microsoft Local Network'

No way to see properties or to delete.

Can anyone help please in configuring or deleting a Workgroup?

Thanks in advance

Dave Neve

You need to practice being patient. Impatience is not well regarded
or rewarded here. Posting the same message twice in just 12 hours is
not considered good netiquette. Wait a day or so and THEN try again.

Besides, your question is regarding some third-party software that is
not generally well known. I Googled "Hamachi" and they are "proud to
have 135,000 users now", so you know this isn't a widely known service
that has been around for a long time. Contact Hamachi tech support or
do as their webpage says and ask your question in their user forums
first. If you still can't figure it out, use other software that is
easier to understand or have a knowledgeable friend (one that is
*really* knowledgeable, not one who just says he is) or a computer
professional come and set it up for you.

Here's the url for their support:

Hi

Although I spoke of a third party software, my question was about the
properties or the supression of a Microsoft Workgroup on a Microsoft Network
on an XP system.

In view of this fact, can you help me please?

Regards

Probably the easiest way to reverse the changes you've made would be to
do a System Restore to before you installed the Hamachi software.
