Using XP Pro with a wireless adapter in my notebook, I connect to my

anywhere with a wireless connection I need to delete all my settings
(to obtain dynamic IP or whatever) is there any way I can just setup a
connection for say ‘Home’ then  ‘Weatherspoons’ then ‘Starbucks’ …
well no I don’t go to Starbucks, rather spend the £2.90 on a beer …. I
can’t seem to figure it out … then I am no expert …. Just a bit of a
pain to setup all these different connections every time I go out (not
that often but) ... is there a way??

I use Netswitcher for changing configurations at different locations.
If it were just the wireless configuration, I would just use WZC in
manual mode, or some connection manager that supports "profiles".
However, the typical wireless connection manager will not save static
IP addresses.  I also need to save SMTP server, WINS server, network
logins, default printer, and other trivia that I usually manage to
forget.  Too much work for my aging brain, so I need a program to keep
it all organized.
Many thanks Jeff ... Yup I have a brain the same as yours ... old and
tired. ANYTHING to help!!

$20 for the license that works forever.  However, you have to renew
every 2 years to get updates.  Checking my laptop, I now have 28 saved
locations (mostly my customers).  Note that you may need to reboot
after switching.

More alternatives, that I know nothing about:
