Creating 2 or more LAN connections with one adapter.

[IT Man]

I use a laptop and travel to various office sites where I
need to connect using static IPs. This would be easiest
if i could create more than 1 LAN connection for the same
adapter (one for each site)instead of changing the
configuration each time.

I obviously can't use the 'Alternate Configuration"
because I need Static IP addresses at each location

How can I do this or can it be done.

Thank You,

IT Man

There is a very useful (and inexpensive) program called netswitcher (see
[url]http://www.netswitcher.com/[/url]) that I have used for quite some time now for
exactly that purpose. It allows you to store the configuration for each site
and to quickly reload it whenever it is needed again.

How to switch network settings without reboot

As a network consultant, I work on different network every day and need to
switch network settings such as IP and DNS accordingly. Fortunately, W2K/XP
comes with a useful tool, netsh.exe, that can switch network settings
quickly. To copy abc.com network settings, type command netsh -c interface
dump >c:\abc.txt. The abc.com network settings will be saved at the root of
the C drive. You can create as many network settings as I like. When you
work at abc.com next time, you will load the settings by typing netsh -f
abc.txt command and the abc.com network settings will take effect
immediately.
