How can there be 2 workgroups?

[bwood at parasolsystems.com]

Greetings,

I have a NT Box and a windows workgroup set up (not everyone will log into
the Windows NT domain, but presently noone is).  The NT Box name is Domino1
and the NT Domain name is Dartech.  The Workgroup name is WORKGROUP and all
our clients are set up accordingly.

The problem comes about when I run "smbclient -L <PC Name>" ..I notice that
Samba is seeing 2 different workgroups, both named WORKGROUP.   Here is the
output of running smbclient -L for 3 PCs and the Samba Server (which is AIX
4.1.4):


PC "Candace" - Does Not see Samba Server:

Sorry to post to the group with a question like this, but I am at a loss
here.  Searching the mail archives for
"Muliple Workgroups" brings up 1000's of non related posts... that avenue
proved not too good.

Any help would be VERY appretiated!

Thanks,
Brendan
