The basic components of a network are the clients and the network hardware such as the switch that connects the hosts together. Each client is required to have a network interface card and must be configured with the network IP settings that the admin has configured for the network. Once all the lower level settings have been configured you need to configure the computer to join either the workgroup or the network domain that is configured on the network.
You can use its IP address or network name (your firewall has to be configured properly).
A network that has ten or more nodes is usually configured as a client/server network.
Each computer requests configuration information from a server.
If your router is configured to work in G mode only, then the answer is yes. If the router is configured to use mixed mode (B and G), then the answer is no. N type adapters will perform as they are supposed too (if the router is configured properly).
When it is new it will initially be configured. When a new operating system is installed, it will be configured. Installing some software or changing some settings may require a little re-configuring. If you are chaning the country settings, for example. If the computer is being connected to a network it may need to be configured. If it is being upgraded it may be configured. If it is having a complete change in usage, maybe as a server instead of a client it may be configured. So there are many reasons when a computer would be configured.
IP addresses are assigned by the network administrator, or ISP. The computer does have to be configured manually to respond to that specific address.
