Ones that affect internet connectivity, especially tcp/ip properties.
When you right click on network neighborhood you get a bunch of stuff that
you can change.  All that stuff could be relevant, but I'm mostly
concerned about the tcp/ip properties for the NIC (IP Address, Wins
Configuration, Gateway, DNS Configuration, etc.).

If I go from home to office, or vice versa, I have to change all that
stuff.  It would be great if I could enter it once, then tell the computer
I'm at home and have it boot into the home configuration.  Even better:
have it ask while windows is loading which of the configurations to load.

If there is some way to make that work, please tell me!  Thanks much.

Mike
