All you need to do is to setup your email client on the new pc, copy your bookmarks over & plug it into the router, everything else is done by the router, you don't need to setup any connections.

That is assuming it is a router (connected to the PC with a network cable). If it is a USB modem you will need to do some setup. If that is the case there are some setup guides here.
If you need them, there email setup guides here.

In IE or FF you have bookmarks (if you use them) they need copied from one pc to the other. Since you are usng a router there is no setup as such just plug in the Ethernet cable and you should be able to connect automatically.

If you use Outlook express for email you may need to copy any old email over as well. But if you only use web mail (i.e. via a web browser) then you don't need to.

Bookmarks, are the same as "Favourites" on Internet Explorer....
