Multiple Docking station IPs for different locations

I have a user with a laptop that has a restricted user
login on the domain and needs to be able to connect to
docking stations at two different locations with different
networks. The docking stations are identical and the
laptop does not see them as different network connections.
I have tried different hardware profiles, but Win2k still
uses the same IP settings for both. I am looking for a way
the user can plug into either docking station and the
laptop will automically choose the correct network
settings, or a simple way for the user to select the
correct network. Anyone have any ideas?
 
I don't suppose your user's laptop has an internal NIC
that you could configure for one IP and use the docking
station's NIC for the other?
 
Yes, it does, and that would be a work around, but the
goal of using the docking station is an easy hookup for
the user, and eventually will involve more that just two
sites and networks. Any other ideas?
