Quick Question: tcp/ip and profiles 1

[Moxx]

Is there a way to save 2 differnt sets of tcp/ip settings under two different proflies (domains). One profile (domain) is for work, the tcp/ip settings are for my windows nt network, but at home i need to change the tcp/ip setting for my other profile (domain) to log on to my mediaone conection. It's a real pain to keep on changing numbers day to day. Any info would be great.

In your system properties under your hardware tab you can create a new hardware profile. Give this profile a intuitive name to prevent confusion. Select the option "always include this profile as an option when Windows starts". Restart Windows and select the new profile. Configure your network settings for your Home network. The next time that you restart you will be able to choose exactly whitch hardware profile that you want to use.

Hope this helps

Did this work...? I was under the impression this would only work if two different network cards were used...?! Heath

I was afraid of that - I wish it would as I'm looking for a better solution than buying a third party tool myself.
