Handling muliple Networks when loggin in

Hi,

I have a laptop witch I use at several different locations, each
location having it's own networksetup. E.g. At home I have a
Router/firewall with dhcp and i'm using one smtp-server, but at school
i'm logging on with fixed ip and, thanks to the fanstastic port 25
blocking, another smtp-server. I'm never connecting to a domain, only
workgroups.

So, my question to you guy's is: Is it possible to choose from
predetermined networksetups when I login to windows, or do I really have
to make all those changes everytime I move the computer? And of course,
I want to use the same useraccount wherever I might be.

Configure the school's fixed ip in the Windows XP 'alternate
configuration' tab on your network adapter, leaving the primary
settings to obtain a DHCP lease. I'm not sure whether there's an email
program that allows you to configure multiple SMTP servers for one
POP3 account, as I suspect you're trying to do, so you'll probably be
best configuring two accounts and use one simply for sending mail when
at school.
