That's an interesting situation, Interrogative. Let me change my
statement to take it into account:
Windows networking supports multiple workgroups, and workgroup
membership has no effect on whether computers can access each other.
If two computers can access each other when they're in the same
workgroup, they can access each other when they're in different
workgroups, too.
Do you agree now?
