I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure how to answer this. If you have a router or
other such network device on your network already then you don't need to
configure IP addresses or other details on the "new" computer, as it will
get what it needs from the router. If you don't then you'll need to
configure the "new" computer in a similar manner to the "old" computers on
the network.

All you need is a router. Recommended you get one with NAT. Also, make
sure it's a wired router....if wireless, make sure it has encryption other
then WEP.

For convenience sake the workgroup names should be the same (makes it easier
to browse the network) but this is not necessary.
