How to configure network on different IP environment?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to configure network on different IP
environment? For example, I need to carry my notebook between 2 offices with different IP setting. I don't want to change IP everytime as I visit different office. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle this situation? Let assume there is only one Lan card available Thanks in advance for any suggestions Eric |

How to configure network on different IP environment?
Multi Network Manager (around $30) worked well when I used it in the past.

Let assume there is only one Lan card available Thanks in advance for any suggestions Eric For only two locations, then yes, you might be able to use 'Alternate Configuration' with manually configured IP properties to connect to the router in the office you are in least. That 'Alternate Configuration' tab is visible if you can/are using 'Obtain an IP address automatically' to connect to the router in the first/primary/default office. All this under Control Panel : Network Connections : 'LAN Card'(Properties) : General : {select}Internet Protocol (TCP/IP): [Properties] I'm not sure exactly how long the timeout is before it switches to the alternate configuration ... something like 30-60 seconds .... or if that can be changed .. but it is a workable setup i've used. -- Nah-ah. I'm staying out of this. ... Now, here's my opinion. Please followup in the newsgroup. E-mail address is invalid due to spam-control. |

How to configure network on different IP environment?
What if I don't want to change IP manually, because my manager does not feel
comfortable to change it by himself between 2 locations. Do you have any more suggestions ?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions Of course you have to change/configure things to set things up. And you have to use a static IP for the 'Alternate Configuration' as you can see for yourself. But once the setup is done you don't have to change the IP manually anymore in the daily use. I don't know 'who is the boss of you' or how the networks in your offices are configured and managed, but if your 'manager' allows it and are just to uncomfortable/lazy/whatever to add a static IP-number for your machine on the 'alternate router' he could give you an IP-number in the upper range that that routers DHCP-server serves to use as a static value on your machine .. an IP-number not normally assigned to other users, or reserved for some other purpose.
