Network configuration

[nctechbear]

I have a user which when in the office needs a static IP address. When on the road, needs to use a dynamically assigned addess.

How can I set up a selection upon boot-up to select between a "docked (office)" and an "undocked (on-the-road)" configuration for the network card. The network card is internal to the laptop and does not change between docked and undocked.

Thanks for the help.

nctechbear,

As you have discovered using hardware profiles provides no relief for your problem.

wolluf's suggestion is a good one. If you ever move to XP you have a few more options using the alternative configuration feature for TCP/IP.
