I'm sure it's simpler than it sounds.  I hope.  ;-)

I have a windows workstation on an ethernet network.  I'd like to know how
hard it would be to bring in my BSD laptop with a PCMCIA ethernet card and
connect to the TCP/IP service on my network, instead of connecting with my
windows desktop machine.  If this can be done without involving my sysadmin,
how do i handle the config options normally done by windows, such as IP
assignment, my computer 'name' on the network, etc?  Please keep in mind i
am inexperienced in ethernet.
