If you are referring to the setting on the network adapter windows 2000 will remember those setting regardless of the network you connect to. For example if you have two docking stations each network device with a different configuration. Regardless if you are in docking station1 or 2 the information configured for each device will load. This is the same with internal network cards. But if you are using the same network device to connect between 2 LAN?s you will have to look at Scripting changes in the registry or WMI.
