Multiple Network Adapter/Connections Win7
Hi,
Am I able to setup multiple network adapter settings on the same laptop (win7)?
i.e
office 1
ip=192.168.1.20
office 2
ip=10.0.0.20
office 3
ip=172.168.0.20
& have the End User quickly & easily swap from adapter to adapter when coming & going from office to office without having to set IP addresses up each time?
Thanks

Yes it would be more straight forward & simpler with dhcp, but because of the setup it has to be this way.
Do you think there is software out there like this for ethernet adapters?

Thanks.
But why not just setup DHCP on the Adapter and have DHCP servers on your different LANs? That is much simpler as the laptop gets it's IP's automatically, and if you really need them to have static IP's, setup the DHCP servers to assign the specific IP based on the MAC address of the NIC. This makes managing the IP's much more simple and straight forward, as they are centrally managed.
