Single NIC, Multiple IP AddressesI'm on a Novell network with multiple LAN's consisting of 5 different
offices. Is there a way to setup a laptop running Win2k Pro so I don't have to change the IP address and gateway every time I go to another office? All the offices are using the same subnet. You can assign multiple IP addresses and gateways to an adapter in Win2k.
However, the results you get in this scenario will be unpredictable, and is not likely to solve your problem, especially where all offices use the same subnet. You would be better off creating 5 shortcuts with a script that makes the appropriate changes for each network, eg: netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 1 Also, there are 3rd party products which may be able to provide you with an easy interface to accomplish this, eg: http://www.netswitcher.com/ Doug Sherman MCSE Win2k/NT4.0, MCSA, MCP+I, MVP Show quote "gondaw" <gon***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:4DC43697-C838-467C-8950-62567D82A4E9@microsoft.com... > I'm on a Novell network with multiple LAN's consisting of 5 different > offices.
