Setting up a different workgroup name for each wireless network?

[reyalP]

I have a Vista laptop that I use on several networks. I currently have each wireless network setup and I'm successfully able to acquire each wireless network when I'm in that location. I would like to be able to assign a different workgroup name to each wireless network so I can see other computers on the network. Is it possible to do this without having to manually change the workgroup name every time I'm in a new location?

I've looked everywhere in the manage wireless network settings and even in each wireless network I have set up and cannot find anything.

Thanks

For one thing, you can see other computers on the network even though your "workgroup" name isn't the same as others. I assume your relying on the My Network Places (I'm sure it's called something different in Vista as Microsoft can ever leave anything the same when they "upgrade). Why don't you instead just go to start > run and type in \\thecomputernameyourwantingtosee It's much more reliable than network places area is. But as far as I know, the only way to change the workgroup name that your computer has is to manually change it, then restart. Honestly, more hassle than it's worth IMO.
