networking with Samba

["john s." <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 I know this is probably a stupid question, but I'd like to attach my 
laptop (FC6) to a Windows box. What are the steps for doing that? I'll 
need to assign the network name to the laptop too. I can network Win 
boxes together, but don't have a PHD in networking... :) I have two nics 
in the laptop and would like to keep one set up for the internet and one 
for a lan.
