Ip changing for 2 different networks 2

[Denny546]

HI,

I am using a laptop in two different environments. First one is the company network, based on novell with DHCP.

Second one is my private network at home where i have no DHCP-Server (XP-Professional)and manual ip allocation.

To do this, I always need to change my tcp-ip settings manually. This is a bit messy.

I am looking for a tool that can be configured in that way that I can simply change the IP by clicking a button ;-) <lazy>.

I tried Netswitcher, but this tool does not allow to set the IP itself, it does a lot of other nice settings, like mapping and stuff but no ip allocation or changing.

Is there maybe another little tool that can do this? Or if not, is there a way to install a little dhcp-server on my XP machine ?

Regards
Denny

Note: Set the TCP/IP properties to DHCP first. Once you have done that an Alternate Configuration tab becomes available:

Hi bcastner!

Sorry, I forgot to say that I am using XP only at home and Win2000 on the laptop.

And Win2000 does not have this tap, as I use only DHCP in the office

Sorry for any inconvenience

Okay, then use the netsh command. This can be placed within a batch file. You only need to make new settings dumps when they change, otherwise you can simply make batch files to restore previously dumped settings.

Hi Bcastner!

Well done! Its working fine and together with netswitcher I can also change my proxy, mappings, and all the rest.

Thank you for your help.

Kindest Regards
Denny

It does not work in Win9x.
