The owner of our company uses a laptop and when he is travelling and wants to
use a DSL connection, he's not able to because we have hard-assigned TCP/IP
addresses on our network.

He doesn't want to have to change the TCP/IP address to obtain automatically
when he's travelling and then have to change it back when he returns to the
office.

I tried setting up a new hardware profile and set the TCP/IP address to
obtain an address automatically, but when logging into the original network
profile, seems that the changes affect both profiles.

What is the way that I can set him up with 2 profiles, one for at the office
with the static IP address and one for travelling set to obtain an address
automatically?

Thanks,

Sandy M
