I fear I am overlooking the obvious but...

Situation:  Boss has Dell Latitude C600 with docking station/network card that works perfectly on the university's LAN:  Win98SE, TCP/IP, static IP.

Now, boss has another docking station with NIC at home, connected via a D-Link router/cable modem to wife's PC (Win98SE).  The wife's desktop connects to the Internet great through the cable modem (dynamic IP) and router.  The boss' notebook does not---because I do not know how to configure it to have one "personality" at work (static IP) and yet another at home (dynamic IP)!

The cable modem provider (CharterPipeline) does not provide support for multisystem routers.

Trying to assign different "user's" profiles has not worked---Why not?  Each user account (work or home) accepts the most recent configuration changes rather than "holding" work's static IP or home's dynamic settings.

Boss does not care to delve into all the network settings each time he goes home.  What am I missing??

Just to restate the problem:  All connections, NICs, equipment work well.  My question is how to set up the notebook to be able to connect simply to either network, university LAN or home, with the least refiguring each time.

THANKS in advance!
