Configure laptop for office network and home broadband 1

ML1999 · Mar 5, 2003

I have a laptop configured for the office domain. IE I have the following settings;
Automatically assigned IP and DNS settings.
Proxy server settings are enabled and fixed.

I need to configure the laptop to work with an ADSL router as well. Therefore I need to change to a static IP with a sub net mask, default gateway and DNS settings.
The proxy server settings will also need to be turned off.

I have tried hardware profiles on the laptop to toggle between the settings, but to no avail.

Any ideas welcome.

What is the ADSL router? Many SOHO routers will do DHCP.

As well as the ADSL router, we are using a PDS 500 series firewall.
Have since found out that this device will do DHCP (it wasn't mentioned in the documentation).
Also discovered the 'netsh' command. With a bit of work this also allows the desired result to be achieved.

Many thanks.
