    Hi Guys,

    I have just installed a DSL modem in my house and I have connected it to my work laptop... the problem I have is that I have fixed ip adress at my work and a different fixed ip address asigned by the broadband provider. Each time I connect I have to go to the LAN connections properties and change ip address, dns servers, etc... I wondered if you can recomend me a good SW to have multiple locations assigned and change the adresses in a very simpley way like just changing your location profile or something like that.

    I hope you can help me and if its freeware better!!!

    Thanks in advance

    Unless you are using a VPN to connect to work from home, I believe the easiest way to solve your problem is simply to configure your home network to use the same range as you use at work so that one address works at either place. If you have give us a bit more detail about the address you use at work and whether or not you access a VPN from home, we would likely be able to better evaluate your options and give you some configuration pointers.
