Which operating system is this?<br />
Windows XP has an alternative IP address option - you could use that. <br />
For other OS then you will need to look at a third party utility. There is something called netswitcher which can do the job for you. <br />

I have a laptop that travels between home and the office. &nbsp;The settings for the office are:<br />
IP: 192.168.100.8<br />
Default Gateway: 192.168.100.254<br />
<br />
My home network is a linksys router and all my home computers are set for auto-detect settings. &nbsp;However, the ip range is 192.168.1.100 - 150 and the default gateway is 192.168.1.1<br />
<br />
Without changing settings on either router how can i get my laptop to work with both networks?

Connecting to a home and an office network

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
