    I am running Windows 2000 Professional on two computers.
    The computers are connected to a LAN and through the LAN
    to the Internet. Should I enter a name for a workgroup
    under Network Identification in System Properties? What
    would be the benefit from creating a workgroup name? Where
    in the Registry is the group named stored? What can be
    done with it?
