Workgroup?

[rte]

Where can I adjust the name of the workgroup in Vu+Duo?

 

[Stanman]

setup/system/network/device manager/mount manager/change hostname

 

[silverfox0786]

setup/system/network/device manager/mount manager/change hostname

thats to change the network device name

you dont need to change the workgroup in the box it runs via smb and will detect the windows network just fine

Hostname & Workgroup are two different things: hostname can be changed as Stanman explained; changing the workgroup goes as follows:
1- "init 4" in telnet to stop Enigma2
2- Open "smb.conf" located in '/etc/samba' with a suitable editor;
3- Change the name (default is "WORKGROUP") to something you want;
4- "reboot" in telnet to reboot the box.
Done

rob forgot to mention

etc/samba is a folder


once inside it you need to edit the file smb.conf

[global]
   load printers = no
   printcap name = /dev/null
   guest account = root
   log file = /tmp/smb.log
   log level = 0
   security = share
   server string = Samba server %h
   [COLOR=#ff0000]workgroup = WORKGROUP
[/COLOR]   netbios name = %h
   case sensitive=yes
   preserve case=yes
   short preserve case=yes
   socket options = TCP_NODELAY
   preferred master = no
[Harddisk]
  comment = The harddisk
  path = /hdd
  read only = no
  public = yes
  guest ok = yes
[Root]
  comment = Everything - take care!
  path = /
  read only = no
  public = yes
  guest ok = yes

So you didn't read what was in point 2 :smash:

......
2- Open "smb.conf" located in '/etc/samba' with a suitable editor;
