Here is how I handle this. I make an icon on the desktop by right clicking on the desktop and choosing new shortcut. In the box that comes up type ipconfig /all. This will get you an ip and dns from the network from the DHCP device. Just click this when you change networks.

You left out your OS version. If you are on Windows 98, then you may have to run the internet connection wizard when you switch locations.

Since you talked about domains, let me address that. If your domain does not match the one at work you will be unable to access servers and printers. If that is ok, then no problem. If not post back.
