Networking from home and office

[Guest]

I have a different internet connection at home and in the office.

Everytime i want to connect to thenet from home i have to change my TCPIP
settings in order to connect to the internet.

The next time i connect to the internet i have to change the settings again.

Is there a way i can connect to the net without having to make the changes
to the TCPIP settings everytime i move from the office to home and vice versa?

thanks

Manan,

If you have dynamic (DHCP) settings at both locations, DHCP will automatically
change them for you. With dynamic settings at one location and fixed settings
at the other, or with fixed settings at both locations, use General and
Alternate Configuration, under TCP/IP Properties, to handle alternate locations.

A really convent way to switch back and forth is with a program called
NetSwitcher.

Yes, you can use alternate configuration.
Control Panel->Network Connections->**Your
connection**->Properties->TCP-IP -> Properties.
There's an alternate configuration tab. If DHCP server in first
configuration is not available (or if you are not using DHCP, Gateway is
unavailable) then you will use Alternate configuration.
