Hi Richard,
Mac Help is your friend. These instructions are copied directly from
the Mac Help. I simply press cmd+shift+question mark then navigate
to the Search field and type "work group". You can then interact
with the Outline, see what matches, which was the first item, double-
click it (cmd+shift+space+space), navigate to the HTML content,
interact with it then begin reading. I put them in this message for
you though so read on.
Changing the workgroup for your Mac
If your Mac and Windows computers are in the same workgroup and on
the same local network or subnetwork, it’s easier to connect to the
Mac from the Windows computer. When the Mac belongs to the same
workgroup as the Windows computer, its name appears in the Workgroup
Computers panel of My Network Places.
“WORKGROUP” is the default Windows workgroup name for Mac OS X. Using
Directory Access, you can change the workgroup name on the Mac to
match a workgroup name you are already using.
Open Directory Access (in Applications/Utilities).
If necessary, click the lock icon and type the name and password for
an administrator user on your computer.
Double-click SMB/CIFS in the list and type the new workgroup name in
the dialog, then click OK.
Later...

FYI, Directory Access is in your Utilities folder in the Applications
folder on your hard drive.
