Stuborn workgroup

Hello
I am connecting from PC to PC using UTP cross-over cable.
Eveiything works fine:
Both computers see each other.
They can share directories, files, drives, printers and Internet connection.

but, strange, if I look in Windows Explorer, in Microsoft Network, I find
two different Workgroups :
- One with the name I gave it myself (MAUSHOME) containing my "main"
computer (the one with Internet Connection)
- One with the name WORKGROUP containing my "secondary" computer.

I tried (many times) to change this name in order to place both in the same
Workgroup using New Connection Wizard and Network Setup Wizard. Everything I
input is accepted but, after reboot, I find exactly the same situation as
previously !
What do I do wrong and how can I correct it ?

Thanks
Henri

See if this helps explain things:
