I have a notebook with US Win98 2nd release, and i use it both in work and at home in two different networks with different IP addressation. How can i most simply switch between two IPs (best at startup) so ill be visible on simple windows network at home, and i will not write over the network settings from work (another IP, workgroup, Wins, gateway and DNS settings)?

Does your home network interact with anything/ other network outside the home? If you have internet access is it getting its internet ip thru a dial-up connection?
If the answer to the first is no except a dialup internet connection and the answer to the second is yes, then the easist way would be to use the same network and host addresses at home as at work or use another protocol at home like netbeui and not use tcpip at home. Also you could use ipx, so you wouldn't have to reassigh ip. As long as you stay away from the public you can use whatever ip at home you want. If you go outside then that's a horse of another caliber.
