2 options afaict:

1. have 2 different runlevels, one starts the server, the other doesn't. Boot 
the relevant one in each situation. Or if you don't reboot, simply change 
runlevels as you go in and out of the house.

2. Get one of those nifty programs that discovers what network you are attached 
to and configures your laptop accordingly. I cannot remember what any of them 
are called sorry.
