Windows 2000 users can use the shell to switch between a static IP environment
and a DHCP environment using the "netsh" command from the shell.
Step 1
Select "Start" then "Programs" then "Aceessories" then "Command Prompt".
Step 2
To switch from a static to a DHCP assigned IP Address at the command prompt
enter:
netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp
Press the "Enter" key.
Step 3
To switch from a DHCP to a static assigned IP Address at the command prompt
enter:
netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static ipaddress
subnetmask gateway metric
The worlds in italics should be replaced with the appropriate values for your
network (the metric option may not be required on all networks).
Press the "Enter" key.
Step 4
Your network settings have now been switched without requiring a reboot. If you
have multiple network adapters on your laptop entering: Netsh interface ip show
config
This will give you a list of adapter names on your network. Replace "Local Area
Connection" with the appropriate name from the list. For users with a single
network adapter, the default name is "Local Area Connection", and this step is
unnecessary..
Also, i think you can use hardware profiles for this. (System)

Greetings,
I have a user that is using a laptop at work but wants to be able to connect to
her hi-speed internet at home. The IP scheme here at work is static while her
hi-speed is DHCP. What is the easiest way to configure a laptop to use two
different IP configurations? She will need to be able to select either option
fairly easily since she is not a sophisticated user.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
Cameron
