both computers have Thunderbird. Both are connected to the network. Both are receiving email updates.

A recently added address is not showing up on other networked computers.

Should throw the computer out? :)

Address books aren't synchronized between computers in normal setups, unlike mail in IMAP accounts. One option is to sync contacts with a cloud account using add-ons like TBSync or gContactSync.
