creating different profiles for different project offices?

[Guest]

we have a user moving around various projects with his laptop. he has windows
xp pro with sp2 on this laptop.

each of these projects have manually configured Ip addressing & also have
different DNS addresses & proxy servers.

everytime he moves from one site to another he has to manually change his
TCP/IP settings & IE settings to access the network.

is there any other way so that he can be configured for each of these 4
sites separately & he can select the profile at startup......if yes, please
tell me how....

is profiling a good idea.....how do i create & configure different
profiles.....

cheers

You could create batch files to run an appropriate netsh command. See:

Also, there may be third party product that can do this - eg.;
