OS X 10.7 add multiple windows workgroups

Question

I have multiple Windows Workgroups on my network, Does 10.7 have the ability to add more than one Workgroup at a time?

I open up System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> WINS (Tab) -> Workgroup

I select/toggle between the Workgroups I need but wanted to add multiple workgroups.

Any thoughts?

Even on Windows you can only set the computer to one workgroup, so setting multiple on Mac isn't going to be possible.

	In Ubuntu I can, going from Ubuntu to OSX – Phill Pafford Mar 20 '12 at 20:46
	Support for MS/Windows networking features on Mac is minimal at best. Whereas Ubuntu is made by people who are much more concerned about it working with other systems. – Jonathan. Mar 20 '12 at 20:50
	Ubuntu uses Samba, so if it's capable of what you ask why not just install that and set it up like on your Ubuntu machine ? – Tyr Apr 23 '12 at 3:21
