Win XP Connecting to an Office and Home Network

[LoveM]

Hi I have a Laptop that I use in the office and would also like to use at home via Wireless.

In the office I connect to a DC and everything works fine.

When I go home I manually change from using the domain to using a workgroup in the Control Panel, System ….. Enabling me to use the BB connection to the internet and share files with my home pc..

This works fine, but it’s just a bit of a pain as sometimes I forget to change it back when I come back into the office and it screws up the settings on the laptop.

Is there an easier way of doing this…

Thanks for your help,

Martin

XP (and Win2k) offers some relief with the use of dumped configuration files using NETSH.EXE. A good tutorial by Daniel Petri can be found here:

There are modestly priced Third-Party utilities as well. If have used NetSwitcher with success, and Syar2003 has been recommending Mobile Net Switch.

Hi Bcastner,

Thanks for your help. I had a look at the Mobilenetswitch applications and I think it'll do the job.

Thanks again.
