I remember it can be done but I don't remember how or what to search for.

Basically a work laptop (Thinkpad T520) that needs to be able to switch between 6 locations. Problem is 4 of these locations need static IP's, so I'm trying not to have to change it at every site.

So how do I set it up so that when the laptop sees the AP of a certain site it automatically switches to the static IP setup and the connects? Googlefoo is failing me, just not sure what to look for :/.

A batch file?
Code:
netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 1

Why does it need to be static? If every location has some kind of DHCP server, then you should be able to setup a Reservation to assign the correct IP.
