Try a sniffer? Or maybe there's a tool in the Windows resource kit from
Microsoft for looking at WINS-like information?

http://securityadmin.info/faq.htm#sniffer

Are there any computers within the Workgroup? Can you double-click on the
workgroup to find out? If you are able to get a computer name associated
with the workgroup, you can do NBTSTAT -a computername or NET SEND
computername "Call me at this phone number immediately" to try to get more
information about the identity of that computer.
