**ALERT** **ALERT** **TECHNICAL QUESTION**

I am working in an office for a couple of months and I want to connect my laptop to the local windows network. I want to be able to view shared folders on the network (peer-to-peer TCP/IP win98) and to be able to access the shared HP laser printer.

I don't need to give anyone access to my computer.

Should I be looking to samba to solve this or should I be looking elsewhere?

TIA,

Jethro
