I had to recently reinstall a new hard drive on my laptop and after doing it,
I found that I no longer have the "Alternate Configuration" tab in my
Internet Protocal properties for my wireless connections. How do I get that
back? I'm getting tired of having to manually type in all the settings when I
get to work everyday!

Thanks for the help in advance,

Shannon

If you don't see the Alternate Configuration tab, set the IP for DHCP
(automatic IP/DNS assignment) first. The Alternate Configuration tab
will then appear. Then you can put in the static IP/DNS information for
your second configuration.
