Switching Utility for Different Network connections?

I have a wireless router I installed at my workplace so I can have internet access on my personal laptop at work. I have to change my internet settings (I have to type in proxy address and port number) when I'm at work. When I get home, I have to change the internet settings back.

Is there a utility of some kind that can make this switch easy?
 
write a vbscript or reg hack to change it, put the shortcuts on your desktop or make it easy and put it in your path.
 
We're all assuming here that connecting a personally owned machine to the work network is covered under the "acceptable use policy"? It certainly isn't where I work.

- I don't think I'll "ask".

Thanks for the info everyone.
 
Maybe your boss won't ask when he cans you either.

Several companies I've worked at, a rogue AP would be a fireable offense. You are opening the network to huge liability. HP would detect and remove a rogue ap >3 hours normally.
 
I didn't even catch that he was putting his AP on the network at work. Wow. Yeah, you'd be let go in short order where I work as well. Rightfully so IMO. Well perhaps a very stern warning first is in order. Their network. Their rules.

Not a question of asking...the policies are given to the employees, and it's their responsibility as employees to read and comply with them. "I didn't know" is a less-than-poor argument.
 
You'll find most respectable boards frown VERY heavily on asking or replying to anything asking about getting around company restrictions.
