i have an option under my NAS server for workgroup/domain setting.

its set to WORKGROUP by default though i have an option to select 'domain' at which point i would have to enter the domain and dns server... where do i get both these values/info from?

whats the difference between workgroup and domain

thanks

Stick to workgroup

Domains tend to be limited to business networks.

do u have a domain controller on your network ?

if not, then theres no need to use the domain settings
