Two Lan Connections with 1 NIC

[francesco.zucca]

Hi at all
sorry for my stupid question, but I can't find how solve my problem.
I need to configure my network connection, both for home (optical Lan)
and office (T3 Lan) using the only NIC in my PC with Xp PRO.
Actually I have to modify by hand the TCP parameters every time, but I
thinks it's a silly manner to do. Is it a manner to duplicate lan
connection with specifically parameter and using something (software??)
to chose the right one connection.

TIA
bets regards
franz

Greetings franz,

You can use the AutoConfiguration feature that will allow you to switch
between multiple networks for home and work. See the following Microsoft
Knowledge Base Article.

I'm sorry, but it isn't possible to duplicate a LAN connection.

Eric's solution should work if one network uses automatic
configuration with a DHCP server and the other network uses a fixed IP
address.

If that doesn't apply, use one of these programs, which let you store
multiple network configurations and switch between them easily:
