How to connect to remote network using internal IP?

[icanluv2]

Question for anyone. I am trying to connect to a remote network that is
using workgroup instead of a domain. The workstation that i am trying
to connect to and monitor is using an internal ip. Do i just type in
the IP and it will allow me to connect to the workstation since i don't
see an option for workgroup and only see domain? What dialog option/box
would allow me to specify the remote network's workgroup in order to
allow me to connect to it? Thanks.

I'm sorry. I forgot to mention that i am trying to use Remote Desktop
Connection that comes with Win XP Pro. Thanks again.
