I have a desktop and laptop, both running XP Home. Only the desktop has
a cable modem connection. To connect the two machines for syncing
files, I disconnect the desktop's ethernet cable (there's only one port
on the desktop's NIC) and plug in a CAT5 crossover cable to establish a
LAN with the laptop. Each time I switch from internet to local LAN or
vice versa, I must change the settings in my Network Connection. How
can I set up two network connections...one for internet and one for
local LAN so that I can activate either one as needed?
