Windows computer WIN7JJ doesn't belong to a workgroup called 'Workgroup'

I'm not sure why it didn't say 'anonymous' when you connected to it. Did
you type a password? You should be able to get a list of shares without
a login/password.

What about the Samba computer? Where does workgroup 'Workgroup' come
from? Shouldn't all the systems have the same workgroup name?
