Multiple IP configs for laptop

[LTF]

Whats the best way to have two lan configurations under xp?

I need one setup for static ip (at work) and one dynamic (home)...

Is it possible to create two local area connections in xp? Can't see where...

 

[Testin da Cable]

prolly somewhere in the hardwareconfig widget. tho XP prolly has hidden it far away :/

 

[LTF]

I'll try it with hardware profiles, one for home one for work...

They should hold network configurations.... right?

 

[LTF]

Bollocks, it held for both profiles

you need a w32 expert. I can't help you [but I can tell you how easy it is to do with unix]

 

[LTF]

blah blah

I found a good site that shows you how to do it, got a nice couple of shortcuts that switch between two ip configurations.

Just incase anyone wants to know how to do this:

Thats easy, you setup an alternate configuration (Under the TCP/IP properties of the NIC) then if the primary connection can't find an IP it will set its static alternate. I've done this before and it works a treat...
