Vista Question

denOkay, all you clever geeks, I have a problem.
New Toshiba laptop with Vista. Want to connect it to the office network (LAN And/Or Wireless) Can see the network, can't connect. Any idea how to do this? How do I change the Workgroup? In XP there is an option to connect to the Internet via a connection that is always on. Where is that in VISTA?
How the hell do you OPERATE Vista, anyway. It seems to work on a need-to-know system that the user doesn't need to know.

Actually, I think we're migrating to it in late 2008. Because we have thousands of users however, we're not about to upset the current workings for a lot of "glitz" and no real substance. However, by then, it's going to almost be an essential move since we get a lot of code support from Microsoft directly - and many major platforms (HP, Dell, etc) are moving that way already. And yes, our techs are about as adept as monkeys with a hangover.

Me: "Okie, Done."
Them: "Uhm... buh... are you..."
