Your question wasn't very clear. Is the server running Windows XP Professiona;?

On the work server, check the IP settings by doing:
Start, Run
type CMD, click OK
ipconfig /all
press return
You need to configure on your laptop an IP address which is:
- in the same subnet as the server
- *not* already in use on the network.
- the same subnet depends on the subnet mask you would out from the server: if the server has 255.255.255.0, then the IP address you assign the laptop must have the same numbers in its IP address for the first 3 positions (eg, server was 10.61.3.251, laptop must start with 10.61.3.). If the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0, then only the first two must be the same, etc...Make sure you configure the same subnet mask as the server has on your laptop.
- making sure it isn't already in use: do
Start, Run
type CMD
click OK
type ping [ip address you want to use] and press enter.
(eg, you've decided to use 10.61.3.50, so you do
ping 10.61.3.50)
If you get no response, then you can try using that IP address.
There is no guarantee that the IP address isn't going to be used by some PC which is currently switched off, though.....
