My employer has replaced the desktops w/ laptops. So now I bring my work PC home. I connect to a LAN at work w/ 3 DNS addresses, specified IP and subnet. I have DSL at home w/ static IP and dial-in for work. I currently only have Win98 installed but soon have dual boot w/ Win2K. I want to be able to have one config for work ( IP, DNSs, subnet) and one for home ( DSL IP, DSL subnet, DSL DNSs) plus have an easy way to switch between the two. If can't do easy in Win98, what recommended software? Will Win2K support 2 different configs or do I definitely need some kind of shareware? Please help my work PC goes off lease in 10 days!!

Thank You

I think you can do this in Control Panel/System/Hardware Profiles. Then, when you boot, it will give you different profile options.

I would just change the settings (ip, DNS, etc) manually in win2K. No reboot needed.

in 98 you have to reboot.

I think there is a shareware program called netswitcher somewhere on the Internet that allows you to change network settings on the fly. Might want to take a look.
