Using Both DHCP and a Static IP Address
If you are using alternating networks with either DHCP or static
IP addressing, you can use alternative settings that will enable
simultaneous configurations of both DHCP and a static IP. This
will allow you to connect to both of the networks without having
to reconfigure each time you want to switch.
There are a few different
networking protocols
used by Windows
(NetBIOS and SPX/IPX are
two examples). Unless
otherwise instructed
by your network
administrator, TCP/IP is
the only protocol that
needs to be installed.
