How to configure my notebook for two separate domains

I need to be able to connect to two separate networks,
since I travel between two different offices. Each
network functions under a Windows 2000 domain controller.
I need to be able to logon to one or the other network at
will without having to make fundamental changes (through
Control Panel, System, Network Identification, Properties)
each time I show up at the other office. What good is a
notebook if it takes so much work to get hooked up each
time? I need access for email, printing, etc., but it's
very frustrating.
 
Just stay in a workgroup and access all resources with

<domain>\<username
password

This keeps you from having policies and such applied at
each domain.

I found this utility several years ago. It kicks ass! Reasonably priced,
too! Solved more problems I didn't even know I had.

Setup 1 (home LAN): user-specified IP, certain folders shared, certain
shared printers located and linked.
Setup 2 (college): a DHCP acquired IP, certain other folders shared, other
printers linked.

Way more configurable items as well. Such as e-mail SMTP server settings,
Usenet Newsgroup logon details. LAN connects, dial-ups connects, browser
settings (proxies), etc.

Configs selectable at any time. Very few items will require a re-boot. The
anticipated config can be selected during the shutdown sequence.
