I have a home wireless network that automatically assigns the IP address and

IP address and subsequent info to get WiFi.
Is there a way in Vista to set up two different "profiles" or "locations"
that I can easily toggle between to change my IP settings, so I don't have to
go into the Network Connections and change them every time I switch between
the two places?
If Vista cannot do this, is there a program I can purchase/download that
will do it for me?
Thanks!
You can predefine an IP setting for a network that has no DHCP server.
Normally, this would be "169.254.n.n", but you can make it whatever suits your
needs.
