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.

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...)
 
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.
