When you install a computer you decide if it will be a member of a workgroup or a domain. You have one computer called jone in your workgroup. When you install a second computer you will have it join the workgroup and then you will see two computers listed - yours and the new one. Just make sure it has the same workgroup name and you assign it an IP address in the same range as the one you are currently using.
