HOW TO: Join my Office Network

Hey guys,

First time user here, and I recently switched to a Mac from PC, so please bear with me...

My work has a wireless network that I need to join to have access to documents and printing. Can I join this network while using XP SP2 within Parallels? If so, I honestly forget the steps to setting up and getting access to this network. I have all the info such as IP #'s and stuff, so if someone would kindly reply with a quick tutorial or a link to one, it would be greatly appreciated.

M.

PS: I am already connected to the the network via OS X, the main reason that I want to do it via XP is because I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get Tiger (10.4.7) to connect to the wireless printer (something about SAMBA Windows printing, etc...)

 

thanks guys... not one lousy tip.

 

Gee, an hour and a half and no one gave you detailed instructions. Our lives are centered on standing by in case you need help, so we should have all responded by now.

Take a chill pill and RTFM.

 

Hey Joem, why don't you STFU and get back to your job. Your boss is waiting for his coffee.

 

- I have the paralles tools installed - a menu option under VM - this way there is no difference between wire or wireless - its just the "Parallels Network Adapter"
then - you just go to "My Network Places" and browse "Microsoft Windows Network" - that's how it works for me.

 

Thanks dude... appreciate it very much!


EDIT: Worked like a charm!
