Hi all

Work have asked me to demonstrate the newfangled art of home DV editing by using my own kit to record and edit a message from our chief exec for a conference next month. I plan to take my iMac into work while I do the edit.

What I want to know is, is it possible to add my machine - OSX, 10.2.8 - to the Novell network at head office? And how would I do it, as the IT support desk sure as eggs won't know.

I am in danger of creating a finished Quicktime movie larger than the largest storage medium I have access to (the 256mb SD card in my digi camera!) as, believe it or not, I do not have a CD burner for my Mac. Please, no-one tell me to go buy one, my son is spending all my money at the mo

So if I can't connect my Mac easily to the office LAN, and the film is too big for my SD card, next best is to create my own little network between my Mac and a laptop from the office - IBM Thinkpad with Win2k. But how do I do that?
