Re: How to swap between two network connections

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I've still not succeeded in getting this to work - the link you provided for
the alternate configuration feature refers toa tab that I don't have - I'm
using XP Pro SP2, but if if open Network Connections, select the connection,
then TCP/IP and properties- I have only one General tab -if I click on
Advanced I get IP settings/DNS/Wins/Options tabs, but nothing labelled
'alternate configuration'. Any cluesas to whre I can find this?

No, but have you tried the built-in alternate method?

Many thanks - I'm a little surprised you have to buy an add-on to make it
simpler - does Vista improve on this?

I've got two users who work between the main site and a remote office.
They
want to use their laptops to communicate with main office through
remote
desktop when they are at the remote office. the main site uses fixed Ip
addreses, the remote one has single phone point with home type
broadband
(no
fixed Ip). So - if I setup two different ntwork connection icons, how
can
they easily swap between the two? (Windows XP sp2)
