She is responsible for the net. Do you understand what is on that net ? Accounting ? Sales ? Atomic bomb lab ? Will you have access to Internet from within the lan ? Will the sys admin let you out ? Do you want to risk "digging a tunnel" to fool him ? You should openly ask him if you can plug in your pc. You will have to obtain an IP address on that lan, manually or dynamically (DHCP) - with or without sys admin knowledge ? Get an OK from him first. Then learn about desktop security - Fedora has a nice gui firewall, just accept the defaults (but check off SSH service port) and you are safe. There are some additional steps you can take - just read a Red Hat manual on security.
