The messages from the Network Setup Wizard are misleading:

1. You don't have to run the Network Setup Wizard at all. You can
make all of the required network settings manually.

2. If you run the Wizard on a new computer, you don't have to re-run
it on computers that are already set up. In fact, you shouldn't run
it.

It's hard to say what's causing problems on the new computer. I'd
start by downloading and installing the latest network card drivers on
that computer.
