My suggestion would be to configure your samba system, which I'm guessing has 
not been done since the workgroup is still set to 'Mdrgroup'.

I don't run Mandrake, by I assume that it has SWAT running on 
http://localhost:901.  If not, enable SWAT.  Under RedHat, you need to edit 
/etc/xinit.d/swat.  Not sure about Mandrake.

Once in SWAT (login to SWAT as root) configure the workgroup. (It is under the 
Globals section).  The SWAT utility comes with extensive inbuilt online 
documentation.  Read it.

If you have any further questions, I suggest posting to samba at lists.samba.org, 
as that is the correct list for samba related questions.  However, I suggest 
reading the posting guidelines at 
http://au1.samba.org/samba/ml-etiquette.html (or some closer mirror) first.

Cheers,

Rasjid.
