John, You create different Locations in the Network area of System Preferences. Once you add them there they get added to the Location menu under the Apple Menu. From Leopard's help files:
> Adding a network location > A network location is a group of network settings for your various > network services (your computer’s Ethernet port, modem port, and > AirPort Card, for example). > > If you often change network settings, you may find switching between > locations quicker and easier than repeatedly modifying individual > groups of settings. > > For example, you might want to make a location for “home,” where you > connect to the Internet with a telephone modem, and a location for > “office,” where you connect to your company network and the Internet > using Ethernet or AirPort. > > To add a network location: > 1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and click Network. > 2. Choose Edit Locations from the Location pop-up menu, and then > click Add (+). > 3. Enter settings for each network connection service you want to > use in that location. > After you create your locations, you can switch all of your network > settings by choosing a different location from the Location pop-up > menu. > j.
