Just add it. Make sure the Workgroup name is the same as that of your other machines.
... and that the Computer name is unique!
I found it much more difficult than it should have been because I was linking a new PC with Vista to a Workgroup with XP. You would think it would be the same but the default names were different and sharing a printer and file permissions took a bit of fiddling around because of user account control in Vista.
