In SMB/CIFS networking, a "workgroup" functions roughly like a domain.  That 
is, it is an administrative entity within which names are unique.  All of the 
participating clients and servers are expected to agree on the workgroup 
me.
Another common reason why DOS clients may not be able to see OS/2 servers is 
because an OS/2 peer server is not browseable.  That is, if you type in the 
explicit share name the DOS client will see it, but not if you rely on 
browsing your network to find accessible resources.
