Multiple Network Connection settings?

[gillis]

Hello and help,

On a new XP laptop I use IE6 to browse both at the office and home. At the office I'm inside the company firewall/router so network properties settings reflect inside IP's and gateway. When outside the building they require a different setting. Is is possible to have more than one network properties setting installed but with different names so I can just choose the one that applies to my location/situation?

Can't seem to think through how that might happen - any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Open up Networking, Properties, TCP/IP, properties, Alternate configuration.
You can then enter either the numbers for your work, or home, whichever is easiest. Cheers,
Jim

Jim, thanks much for the tip. I had been in there before but the Alternate tab didn't show. Apparently it only appears if the primary setting is "automatically configured". If I try to put static information into the first config. the "alternate" tab disappears.

Anyway, I was able to get it to work - I greatly appreciate your responding.
