I use my laptop loaded with Windows XP Pro to access network resources
both at my works as well as my office. Both place are in different
subnets. So I use IP 135.4.30.148 in the works and 141.0.1.148 in my
office. Both the subnets are connected. I change my IP whenever I
switch places.

Is there a way to access both the networks without changing the IP
everytime ?

Please help !!!

It appears that both locations are using static IP addressing. To avoid
having to change your IP address one of the locations will need to have
a DHCP server in place. If this is the case you configure the
properties of your NIC for DHCP and then configure the alternate for
the location that does not have a DHCP server.

If neither place has a DHCP server then you could try to create a
profile that your laptop will boot to, one as location a, and the other
as location b. Then in each profile set the IP address. I have not
tired this, and do not know if it will work, but it is worth a shot.
