Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help to improve
Ubuntu.

There are many configuration options in smb.conf that it may be
necessary to change in order to fully integrate your fileserver with a
particular computing environment, including not only 'workgroup', but
also the 'wins server', 'security', and 'lanman auth' settings.  The
purpose of nautilus-share is not to be a comprehensive management
interface for integrating your Ubuntu desktop with an existing Windows
workgroup/domain, but to provide simple filesharing capabilities, and I
think it succeeds in this.

It would be nice to have stronger GUI management capabilities for
setting the workgroup, but I agree with Patrice that this is a wishlist
bug.
