Here is my situation. I have a laptop that I use at work but I also take it
home and use it there too. On the work network I have to assign my laptop an
IP address but at home I assign one automatically.

Is there an easy way to switch between the two w/o having to type in the IP,
Subnet, etc... every time I go back to work and vice versa?
