That's wrong. Windows networking supports multiple workgroups, and a
computer in any workgroup can access a computer in any other
workgroup. Using the same workgroup makes networking a little easier,
but it isn't necessary.
To access another computer, regardless of what workgroup either
computer is in, type the other computer's name in the Start | Run box
in this format:
\\computer
There are other errors in that article, too. For example, it says:
Note that peer-to-peer workgroup computers typically use NetBEUI
for local LAN communication
