Network Switching

[Sypher]

Hello, i've got a problem ...
I have a notebook that have to be able to go in 2 different networks ....
The main problem is that those 2 network dosnt have DHCP, so its a pain to
switch manually everytime
(since one is totally different from another).

Do you guys know some tricks to automatize the switching process ?
Or some (freeware) utility that will do that for me ?

Thanks in advance to anyone that will answer ...

XP supports two sets of TCP/IP properties - the main one and an
'alternate' one - that might be of use to you.

Right click on your network connection, choose properties and then
TCP/IP - you'll see the properties displayed but there is also an
alternate tab. My understanding is that the alternate is used when the
main ones do not work.

That one is a SP2 feature i think. But i cant decide to install SP2 over
that notebook (its not mine but of a colleague.)

Any freeware software?

Thanks in advance,

The "alternate" tabe exists in every versions of XP, not just SP2,

It is not an SP2 specific feature.
