Hi,

I need to have two completely separate sets of settings for connecting to my
home and work networks. Is it possible to set up two network connections for
the same network card with the different settings and enable one and disable
the other depending on which network I connect to?

Also, will this work on Windows 2000 too?

Thanks

Hello.. XP has the "Alternative configuration" option, with this, it is
possible to set 2 different settings in the same card
without any additional software.
You can find this option on he TCP/IP protocol properties.

I hope this help...

Thanks, Memoskins. I'll try it out. It took me a while to find as it was not
displayed on my Properties dialog box because I have a static address
assigned to this computer.

Thanks again for your help.

The alternative config only shows if the network connection was set using dhcp.
If it's using a static address, then you can use netswitcher. I use it and it
works very well across different networks. If you're really not into spending
money, then the netsh command is supposed to do the same thing but it's not as
intuitive as netswitcher.
