pc called Master. The responce is Found MASTER.MSHOME.Net.

Is the MSHOME.NET part, the workgroup name ?

This i am puzzeled by as my workgroup name is different

"mshome.net" is the default primary DNS Suffix.
It is appended to the hostname "master" to generate the Fully-Qualified name
that you see.

This is configured here:

r-click 'my computer' | Properties;
( or win-key and Pause/break together )

Computer name tab;

"Change..." button;

"More..." button.
