Windows 95 allows specification of a workgroup name (Control Panel -
Networks - Identification - Workgroup). Users should be aware that
workgroups and domains are very similar concepts. Domain membership
is used for authentication but resource visibility and access can be limited
by workgroup membership. If you log in to the domain but are specified
to be a member of a workgroup other than the domain, resources may not
be visible to you depending on how those resources are configured.
