So I finally got myself a laptop. At our boarding room, I play network games with my brother; he uses the desktop PC and I use the laptop, via an adhoc two-PC network. At my girlfriend's boarding place, I've installed a router which connects to the Internet and assigns a unique IP to my laptop automatically. At my workplace, I have to connect using a preconfigured IP and gateway.
Unfortunately, there has never been an easy way to change from one network profile to another in Windows XP. So I have to do everything manually.
Windows Heaven's suggestion does not seem to work from my end.
Thank goodness I've found the NetSetMan utility via LifeHacker. Now I can set different profiles at will. The free version of NetSetMan allows up to six profiles, pretty well above what I really need.
