Hi all,

Been googling for hours but can't find any answers!!

What's the best way specifically for vista, to configure laptop IP address for 2 different networks?
I want to easily switch IP address detail when at home or in work.

I previously used netsh and scripts to do this in XP...but can't get it to work now in vista.
There seems to be differences in netsh in the move from XP - Vista

Thanks in advance

Paul

In work it's a static IP address, so DHCP is not an option...thanks anyway

Somewhat hackish, but assuming you don't have a DHCP server at work, you could set your fallback to be your static configuration. At home, you'd get your dynamic IP, at work it would timeout and you'd use the static settings. Might that work?

does the home network have wireless, use the laptop at home wireless and wired at work
