Have you enable the sharing? If you do, you should be able to itself in workgroup.

I have been having network problems - nothing appears in WORKGROUP. As an
experiment, I decided to disconnect the network to see if a shared resource
(a shared folder) on my computer would appear under WORKGROUP in
MyNetworkPlaces. My computer has a name & has been assigned to the work
group WORKGROUP. Am I correct in assuming that my computer & its single
shared folder should appear under WORKGROUP even if the network wire is not
plugged in?
