Is there a way to be a member of two diff workgroups on
the same XP machine?

No, that isn't possible.

It also isn't necessary. Windows allows multiple workgroups on a
network, and computers in any workgroup can access computers in any
other workgroup.

To access another computer, regardless of what workgroup it's in, type
the computer's name in the Start | Run box, preceded by two
backslashes:

\\computer

To see all of the workgroups on the network:

1. Open My Network Places.
2. Click "View workgroup computers" to see your workgroup.
3. Press the Backspace key to see all of the workgroups.

My situation is, I have a VPN established between 2
offices. Both ofices have different workgroup names. I
personally need to access specific workstations on the
other office's workgroup. How do I do this?

Thanks
