Multiple Network Configurations

[Tanmay]

hey, someone brought me a laptop running windows 2000
that needs to have two different network
configurations...let me explain

When this laptop is at the office, it logs onto a
domain..domain X..there is a dhcp...etc

When at home though...the laptop needs to log onto a
workgroup and needs to have a static ip already assigned
to it..

I was wondering how I could create both these
settings...could I possibly create two different hardware
profiles or is that hardware only? software
independent? ...or I was thinking..at the login screen
itself...when it asks me to log onto "domain X" or "this
computer" if i could create another setting "home"

well, thanks for the time

well i do have a little more background in computing than
most users...I hope!

but i was thinking if there could be another way...i
wasn't sure if a new hardware profile would apply to the
software as well?
