I have a wireless laptop and I use static IP addresses at both work and home. I would like to autoconfigure a static IP for each wireless network depending on which one the laptop can find and connect to. I know WinXP (which is what i am running) offers an alternate config tab in the TCP/IP settings, but it only offers it when the primary config is "obtain automatically". Any input would be helpful. Perhaps I need a third party's management software?
