Thank you Robert. The URL you gave led me to the following:

How to setup two IPs on a computer

Q: I have a laptop at the office and home. How can I configure TCP/IP for
the office and home.

A: You may have two options. 1) if one of networks uses DHCP and another one
use static IP, you can select Alternative Configuration under the Properties
of TCP/IP to add another static IP. Note: You can have only one static IP.
The computer will try to get an address from a DHCP server first. If it
fails, it will use the static IP. 2) Or run netsh.exe (from w2k Resource
kits) if both networks use static IPs.

Thanks again!!!

I have a home wireless network that automatically assigns the IP address
and
info to my new laptop (Vista). At work, I'm required to manually enter
the
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!
