Setting up two internet connections

[Brad Pears]

We have a salesperson who uses his personal laptop both at home on his own
personal wireless network and as well, brings it in here to work, to plug
into our LAN.

For his home email, he connects to AOL. He is wondering if he can connect to
his AOL mail account when he is here in the office.

To do this, I will have to modify his network connection settings such as
the gateway IP so he can get out to the internet...

If I simply add our gateway IP into the list of gateways on his machine,
will that do the trick? He is set up for DHCP.

Will adding the gateway IP in any way screw up his connection when he is at
home? Do I need to set up an alternate configuration? If so, how do you tell
the machine to use the alternate configuration as opposed to the normal
configuration?

Thanks,

Brad

If so, how do you tell

the machine to use the alternate configuration as opposed to the normal
configuration?

If it does, you could use a program like MultiNetwork Manager to
manage both configurations. www.bluehighwaysoftware.com
