I have always successfully used Hardware Profiles to do this.

Rename your existing profile something like "Office A". Copy it and call the copy "Office B". Reboot and select "Office B", then reconfigure the Network settings.

You have to have access to the Network Control Panel. If you can open it up, simple click on the TCP/IP protocol choose properties, and change your IP address. If you don't because of the security, you have to get a login with access. Alternatively, try registry editor: HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\services\tcpip\parameters\

Don't forget to backup before you change the registry!

You cannot change your IP address unless you have local administrator-level access. You will not be able to do this either through the Network Control Panel - which will be greyed out - or through the registry, because you don't have that level of permission. You'll have to get someone with administrative privileges to the workstation to do this. Hope this helps!

I cannot figure out a way you can do this; even by editing the registry without belonging to the Administrators group
(Local or Domain). If you succeed in any way pls do let me know.
