Can't change Workgroup name

Hi all,

I have a problem on my Inspiron 1501 with Vista Home Premium. Ever since I
got it I haven't been able to see my home network or connect to my printer
which is connected to an XP PC.
When I try and change the workgroup name it shows as grayed out so I can't
type a new name.

Also in the Network & Sharing Centre both the Network Discovery and File
Sharing are set to Custom, I can't set them to On, it just reverts back to
Custom.

My internet connection is fine and when I view the Full Map I can see my
other computers, My access point is a netgear WGN124 router. I've tried
everything I know but I am now stumped.
