See 2 Workgroups - Why / How?

See 2 Workgroups - Why / How?: Posted by Fred Marshall on June 6th, 2008; Sometimes I see 2 Workgroups in Windows Network. That's fine and I can
imagine that it could be useful.
The question is:
What does it take to make sure this *will* happen - in addition to there
simply being at least one computer assigned to each workgroup?

Thanks,

All your computers should be configured to be on one network.
I do not know where the second network comes from. If you have Wireless make
sure that it is secured and does not log to neighboring networks.

Make sure that these services are running on each computer: Computer
Browser, Server.

Windows networking supports multiple workgroups, and a computer in any
workgroup can access shared resources on computers in any workgroup.
