Is it possible to setup a second network connection ?
I already have 1 set up for my ADSL/Net/Home network, yet
wish to set up a second for when I hook up to a LAN
gaming group, so I don't have to muck around changing
IP's etc.

If i try to create a new connection it simply over writes
the one i have.

XP creates one network connection for each NIC. You'd have to install
a second NIC to get a second network connection.

These programs let you store multiple network configurations and
switch between them easily:
