xp Network - workgroup name

I have a LAn with 10 mixed computers - problem with 2 of them (1 xp pro and 1 xp home), I cannot change the name of the workgroup - I do the obvious in the setup wizard and change the name but when I come back it has returned to its original - it dos'nt matter if I Shutdown and restart for change to take effect - it just is back at the original name when I start up again -
These are same 2 computers in my other posted message  'LIMITED or no Connectivity' 'unable to assign an IP address'
Any help will be appreciated.

    bricin,

    Try changing the workgroup name through System Properties instead of using the wizard.  Click the tab for Computer Name and make your changes through that screen.
