If you go to the Local Area Network properties for your TCP/IP
configuration, you'll see a tab for Alternate Configuration. Put your
second IP address there. Then when the first configuration times out
looking for an IP address from a DHCP server, the second one will kick
in. If the waiting for the second configuration to take affect becomes
annoying (and it may not), then look into third-party network
management software like these (very inexpensive):
