Using WinXP Pro a "local area connection" gets used with the wireless card on my laptop. At home I have fixed IP addresses. My router, Zone Alarm, etc. all set up with this.
When I'm out and about, and use open wireless networks to go online, they are set up with DHCP (I believe it's called) for dynamic IP addresses.
So each time I switch from home to abroad, I have to reset my local area connection from my fixed IP address and DNS to "Find automatically", then back again when I get home.
Is there a way to set up two separate local area connections with the settings remembered, one for at home, one for roaming?
This way I would not have to re-type in all the settings.
