I am unsure how to do this. How would I change the workgroup name of

everyone.

If you are referring to the samba workgroup 'workgroup' and instead wish
to changed the workgroup name to 'Canine', add the workgroup name to the
127.0.0.1 line in /etc/hosts. For example, I use 'mshome' instead of
'workgroup', so I modify:

$ gksudo gedit /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost

to

127.0.0.1 localhost gl.mshome

gl is both my username and host name. You'd modify to:

127.0.0.1 localhost <name>.Canine

save the file and restart the broadcast daemon:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/nmbd restart
or
$ sudo service nmbd restart

Your samba shares should now be in the 'Canine' workgroup & your Windows
user(s) should now be able to attach.
