Check the firewall settings. ping.exe uses a very specific port to accomplish what is made for. In order to see a computer in workgroup the option files and printers sharing has to be on (137, 139 ports).

What two text boxes are used to identify a computer on a workgroup?

In what context? What operating system? If you are referring to Windows, you can typically Right-Click on My Computer and select properties. Clicking on the Comptuer Name tab will show you the name of the computer and the name of the workgroup or domain to which it belongs. Alternatively, you can open a command prompt and type 'net name' and press the Enter key. However, this will not show the workgroup or domain info, only the computer name and username.

Unless you have the computers networked, you can't.
