    Is there any way in Vista to get one wireless adapter to have different static ip addresses depending on the location i am at instead of having to change my tcp/ip properties between home and work?

    I have both wireless profiles saved but if i change the adapter properties in either of them it changes it for the other too.

    What am i missing?


    Cliff Notes:

    1. Running NAT at home and work
    2. Tired of changing TCP/IP properties depending where im at

    Have your home do DHCP, and make sure the SSID are different. Having duplicate SSID do not work with different sec keys.
