Multiple Network Configurations with Windows XP - 2 DHCP networks

[Ran Chermesh]

Hi,
I'm trying to configure my laptop to communicate both with my
employer's network and with my home network. I tried to learn from net
documentation and found an MS document
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q283676) and
an alternative method (http://www8.pair.com/dmurdoch/netsh.html).
None of the options worked, since both of my network use DHCP.
Are there any alternatives?
If not, what's required to switch my home network into an ip
configured system?

These programs let you store multiple network configurations and
switch between them easily:

Hello
I have my daughters loptop setup to plug into my network
here at home via CAT5 cable and also to connect to the
wireless connnection at college, all I did was right
click Network Connection>left click Properties then add
another connection and then you will see 2 connections in
there and you will have to disable the one you do not
want to connect to by right clicking on it and left click
on disable then enable the other one to use.
Hope this helps
Jim
