What do I have to obtain two local area connections in my "network
connections" with an only nic and to commute from one to the other one?
Many thanks in advance.

It isn't possible to have two local area connections for a single NIC.
To get a second local area connection, you'd have to install a second
NIC or the Microsoft Loopback Adapter.

Why do you want a second local area connection? There might be
another way to do what you want.

You can create a batch file that uses the built-in Windows XP "netsh"
command to change the network configuration:

1. To specify a static IP address:

netsh interface ip set address <connection> static <ip> <mask>
<gateway> <gateway metric>

For example:

netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static
192.168.0.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.254 10

netsh interface ip set address "Wireless Network Connection" static
10.20.30.100 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 20

2. To specify a dynamic IP address:

netsh interface ip set address <connection> dhcp

For example:

netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp
