I've a client with a Laptop WinXP Pro and wireless capable. He wants to
connect wirelessly to his homes wireless router, then take his laptop to his
office and connect wirelessly there, and then out on the road to various
motels and sites that have wireless access points. How do I set each up on
his laptop. All locations will be Wireless DHCP connections except the one
at his office which will be a Wireless STATIC connection.

I had the office part working, and his home network working but one of my
cohorts decided to do his thing and now the client can not access his office
network. And he hasn't been home since with the laptop.

You need a mobile connection manager. I suggest 3 in my article.

But the client will have to go home, or to the office, to have one of the
connection managers installed.
