Michael, below is an example of a static IP configuration from
/etc/network/interfaces. When you change locations, merely change the
components that are no longer correct and run "/etc/init.d/networking
restart" - you will then need to restart any network services /
applications that are also running.
# The first ethernet port
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
netmask nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
network nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
broadcast nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
gateway nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
You will still have to have a correct /etc/resol.conf for the new
location. DHCP is your friend if both locations run it and it suits your
purposes. Failing that, there are a number of location detection
utilities in Debian that will configure your system on boot after
detecting where it it is.
Some of these will automatically edit / replace "interfaces" and
"resolv.conf" to suit the location prior to starting network services to
minimise (remove?) the need to manually configure your network as you
change locations.
I've not got any of these to work to my satisfaction but I'm lazy.
