XP Alternate configuration (but also have DHCP at home)

Pickngrin · 11-21-2008, 05:09 AM

I just did a forum search and sort of found an answer to my initial question (how can I use a static IP at home and a dynamic IP in the office). However, the link that was provided ( http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/mobility/learnmore/russel_02march04.mspx) refers to a scenario in which the user does not have DHCP at home, and I do.
So, my question is how can I configure my laptop (XP Pro) so that I can have a dynamic IP at the office and a static IP at home?

Thanks!
