How to connect to home network without affecting work settings

[A.J. Cady]

I'm sure this is a very basic "office network + home
network" setup question, but can't seem to find answer.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Work Laptop is running Win2000. Typical corporate LAN
setup.

I have a home PC running WinXP(home), a home laptop
running Win98 + firewall/router & DSL.

Want to set it up so my work laptop can see & share
printer, files, etc. with the WinXP desktop and (if
possible) the Win 98.

.... how do I do this without affecting my ability to
access the LAN at my office?

I have a laptop that connects to a home LAN using a hard set IP address, e-
mail SMTP server settings, shared resources, etc. I also connect to a
college campus using a DHCP supplied IP address, different SMTP server
settings, different resources, etc.

I use Netswitcher (www.netswitcher.com) to easily switch between these
scenarios. Very inexpensive and solved more problems than I thought I had.

My recommendation is to use MultiNetwork Manager from
www.globesoft.com
It does what Netswitcher is capable of and a lot more,
Needless to say I have used both and MultiNetwork is a
much more professional product a bit more expensive but
worth every penny if you ask me,
