FWIW, the default workgroup name of later versions of Windows XP Home is 
MSHOME; not sure what it is for XP Pro or Server 2003. 
workgroup=WORKGROUP was the default back in the Win9x and NT days. The 
moral of the story is double-check this on all your machines, because 
you never know when some brain-dead sysadmin (such as People Like 
Me(tm)) has changed it then forgotten that it was changed, or assumed it 
was changed when it wasn't.
