well...first at all,  my english is not very good.....sorry about that!


If the provider use PPPoE, perhaps his wife can install any  "Internet Share
Connection"  or any proxy system which support Automatic Proxy configuration
for clients...and set a static IP, with a same IP Net like his office....

If you can get that work, he must use the same static IP with Automatic
Detect setting enabled.....

Example:

His Notebook: 192.168.1.10/24
Her PC: 192.168.1.20/24 with a Proxy.

and I think that his ISP must hire a Dilbert instead of an Asok!....

HTH

| 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!
