I'm connecting a laptop computer to 2 separate small peer-
to-peer networks with netbios printers. We need to be
able to switch from one network to the other and be able
to easily switch between two different workgroups. Ie.
workgroup lan1 in one building and workgroup lan2 in
other building.

Is there any way to do this in windows xp pro?

How to switch network settings without reboot

As a network consultant, I work on different network every day and need to
switch network settings such as IP and DNS accordingly. Fortunately, W2K/XP
comes with a useful tool, netsh.exe, that can switch network settings
quickly. To copy abc.com network settings, type command netsh -c interface
dump >c:\abc.txt. The abc.com network settings will be saved at the root of
the C drive. You can create as many network settings as I like. When you
work at abc.com next time, you will load the settings by typing netsh -f
abc.txt command and the abc.com network settings will take effect
immediately.
