Network profiles

[Guest]

Problem: Two locations, both Static IP. One laptop.
Question: How can I create a network profile so the user can switch
connections? In other words, is it possible to have two different network
settings via the same LAN device so the user can switch to the one the
location requires?

I'd prefer not to change the server to DHCP, it would make it easier, but
that could reset the whole system and cause problems.

This is not a Vista solution. It cost $20. Something Vista should do on
it's own. Desite that, Vista isn't listed as a supported OS, so purchasing
this wouldn't be a wise decision. Any other ideas?

Is this a solution. Simple VB script icon on the desktop? If so, anyone know
the code I would use to set the IP and Gateway?

Have a look at Easy Net Switch.

It works under Vista and not even triger UAC dialog.
