Alex,
You said: Good idea, but I'm affraid you will have to hack together
something like LNoval use to authenticate to a wireless network
before login.
TK: What do you mean exactly by the above? My computer remembers the
three networks I most commonly connect to. All are WPA2 Personal and
I must also have a static IP address at work so that Mail and the
Exchange Server will talk to each other. I use this process outlined
below just fine.

Hi Everett,
You Asked: can I configure network profiles so that IP and
sharing are customized to each network that I commonly join?
TK: Yes for IP and other related resources. Do the following:
• Go to System Preferences.
• Choose the Network System Preference.
• Navigate to the left of the Services Table to the Location pop-up
menu.
• Activate it using VO-space and choose Edit Locations.
• A new dialog will appear and press the New button.
• Enter the name for the new Location.
• Press the Done button.
• Navigate to the Advanced button in the main window of the Network
Preference and press it.
• Modify any settings you need in this pane and then press OK.
• Navigate to the Apply button at the bottom.
• Now you will have multiple Network profiles with specific
settings necessary for each Location. You can quickly change your
Location now by going under the Apple menu and choosing the
Location item and then choosing your desired Location from the sub-
menu. This Location item does not appear unless you have multiple
Locations.
With respect to Sharing Preferences, what exactly are you hoping to
do?
