I've a Laptop with XP, when I'm @office I've to connect without default IP and gateway(IP Addresses will be obtained automatically) and when I'm @home I've to give static ip addresses of cable net provider. It's annoying me to change these very frequently. Is there any way to write a batch file(or any similar program) which I can run it when ever I want where as that program should be able to change ip settings according to my requirements.

The "netsh" command does exactly what you want. Put it in a batch
file or type it at a command prompt.
Here's an example that sets a static IP address, subnet mask, default
gateway, and metric for the connection called "Local Area Connection":
netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static
192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 1
To obtain the IP configuration automatically:
netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp

addressed directly to me in E-mail or news groups.
NUMBERS LIKE THESE, 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0
192.168.0.1, are these the numbers web sites use to record
your activity and identify who you are? Can these be
changed, or are they part of your computer? Thanks!

You can also leave your IP configuraton as automatic. Then configure an
alternate IP address with your ISPs configuration for home use. When you
PCs cannot find a DHCP server at home, the alternate address will kick in.

When you have your laptop correctly configured for your office
network, you can save the network configuration for later restoration.
netsh -c interface dump > c:\configs\officeinterface.txt
Now lets say you take it home and reconfigure it correctly for you
home network. To save you home network configuration for later use:
OK. Now you take the laptop back to the office and you need to
reconfigure for the office environment: nic address, wins, gateway
address... Use the following command to restore your office network
interface:
netsh -f c:\configs\officeinterface.txt
At end of day, you take it home. To setup for home, run:
netsh -f c:\configs\homeinterface.txt
As you can imagine, this is very valuable if you have get your laptop
to function in multiple network locations.
The netsh -f <configuration file> is perfectly batchable. Create a
Home.bat and and Office.bat and just click to restore your settings
for either location.
