Is there a way to choose different ip address depending on
the location? I use static ip for work and home. I have to
manually enter the ip address whenever I am at work or
home. Thanks.

You could write two .cmd files that set the IP address using the "netsh"
commandline utility:

for dhcp:
netsh interface ip set address name="connectionname" source=dhcp
for static
netsh interface ip set address name="connectionname" static <ip> <netmask>
<defaultgw> 1

Start the netsh command and look at the options.

Hi,

You can enter both IP addresses : TCP/IP Properties-->Advanced-->IP
Settings-->Add .

You can set two different profiles for your notebook and choose which
one you're on. Personally, I'd use DHCP, if you can't at work then at
least at home.
