How to tell my base station to forget a network

Hi - I have 3 PCs at home (2 desktops with MS wireless
cards and a Dell laptop with a Dell wireless card in
it). The 3 machines can see the 2 desktops on a network
called "mycroft" which is as it should be but the laptop
can be seen only on a network called "home" which I don't
want. How do I tell the base station to forget
about "Home", please? I have tried reinstalling
absolutely everything and resetting the base station but
no luck anywhere. Operating system is XP pro on one
desktop, XP home on the other 2 machines, all with SP2
installed (though the problem's been there since before
SP2 went on).
Thank you very much - John Mycroft

John,

It looks like the laptop that you have there is configured on a workgroup
called "MSHOME" which is default workgroup name. It's not your base station,
it's your laptop's XP that has this setting.

You should go to the Properties of My Computer, choose Computer Name tab,
and click on Change button to change the workgroup name from MSHOME to
mycroft.

Hope this helps.
