If you mean Windows Workgroup that's not necessary. Indeed Windows Workgroup is really meaningless as each PC in a Windows Workgroup has separate accounts. (Although accounts could be named the same on each PC and the associated password is the same.)
What you need is the network device name or IP address, a user name on that device and the associated password. Also realizing that if the IP address is given out by DHCP it could easily change if the PC, say a laptop, does some traveling and then comes back to your network.
(I'm using the term device rather than PC as this could be a Linux server running Samba, some kind of Network Attached Server running Windows networking protocol or a Windows PC.)
