Arrow Remote Desktop issue: no MSHOME workgroup

I recently tried out the networking app Hamachi, but ended up not using it much. I noticed it made another connection and added the workgroup 'hamachi' to the network. Well, now I am having trouble connecting by remote desktop with another computer on the network that I usually had no problem with. What I discovered is that when I attempt to browse the computers on the network, the only workgroup available is the hamachi one, and the default MSHOME is gone. I uninstalled hamachi, which removed the connection, yet it still remains the only workgroup available through remote desktop.

It's a real pain not being to remote desktop since the computer I'm trying to connect to is my media pc which is in the enterainment center, and is easier to manage through my main computer. Anybody have any idea what could be wrong and how to fix it? Thanks!

-Edit- I just realized I might get a better response if this was in the Hardware/Networking Zone. Can a mod please move this?

How ya doing, buddy?

Can't you just set the workgroup back to MSHOME?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

How would I go about doing that? When I click to browse the computers, the only workgroup that shows on the list is Hamachi, where usually there would be MSHOME with a list of computer once I hit the little plus sign.

Right-click "My Computer" -> "Properties" -> "Computer Name" tab -> "Change..." button. Set it to "MSHOME", then reboot.
