It depends on what type of connection is available to you, and what are the office’s network parameters to be able to access after physical connection.

You have to be more specific in your description.

Your first step is probably the office Network guy.

just for more information
all of our office computer are connected through a hub.

[JackMDS]

From hardware point of view you need to buy Ethernet PCMCIA card and a CAT5 cable.

You configure the Card on your Laptop, and connect to the Hub.

However configuring the card depends on the office network parameters.

Assuming that your office network runs on Windows.

1. What protocols are used?
2. How sharing is done?
3. How IP are given?
4. Is there a login name and Password?

You can not configure your Laptop correctly unless you know all of this info.

just get it done this afternoon by using the user name and password to create a new user in window xp and follow the set up network box instruction.
