I am using XP Pro on my laptop at both my home and work. However, I can't set up a separate connection for each with the add a new connection (when I do it replaces my old one and I have one again). Is there any way to quickly change settings between my home network (where I have a static IP and static DNS servers) and my work network (where I use different dhcp and DNS servers)?

Please help me out as I have to have to go into network properties and change them each time.

You may have to get a separate network adaptor for each, so each will have its own MAC address, and configure them manually, one for DHCP and one for Static. I dont think you will be able to have both types setup on one adaptor.
