Laptop used at work and home -- work uses fixed ip and home floating
ip-- is there a way to set up so do not have to enter all the numbers,
etc each time am at work? Home is easy -- just click on obtain ip
automatically. Thanks.
 
Win XP supports an alternate IP configuration which would work in this
scenario. Unfortunately, Win2k does not have this. You have a number of
choices;

1. Third party software - eg. http://netswitcher.com/

2. A second adapter - perhaps USB - configure one for work and one for
home.

3. A script saved to a bat file:

DHCP.BAT =

netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp

STATIC.BAT =

netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static
192.168.0.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 1

netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.200
