This is how I would do it.

Step One: Install the render cows on each of the computers, including the main computer

Step Two: Make sure that all the rendercows are the same build number and have the same level of updates etc.

Step Three: Connect all the computers to a router, using a 1/100 (i think?) LAN cable if possible this will make the farm a lot faster becuase information will be transmitted quicker.

Step Four: Start Hypervue and start looking for the render nodes.  

I think that my computers automatically connected to a homegroup on the network (Im assuming you are using vista or windows 7?) and it was fairly straightforward after that.

There are a few guides on the net that might help you, ill hunt them down for you now.

Hope this helps!
