Take a look at something called schemes. I've never used them, but
that are for doing exactly what you want.
I have the same situation as you; one laptop that oscillates between
work and home. Since the offices dhcp to assign IP numbers et al, I set
up a small dhcp server on my hme Linux box (firewall) and now my laptop
is simple set for dhcp. No matter where I plug it in, it gets all the right info
from the appropriate dhcp server. Good luck............................Ian
