I have an XP Pro Laptop that I use at my home office (peer to peer with a linksys router) and I bring it to work where there is a Novell 6 network. I am having difficulty getting the laptop up on the Novell network. I need to know 1) do I need to load the client for Novell on my XP laptop and 2) how do I configure it so I can talk to both? My home office is on DHCP 192.168.1.x and the office office is on static IP's. also 192.168.1.x Thanks!!

One way is to download NetSwitcher software and use it to setup ip addresses/configurations for each of the networks you need to access. It used to be $9 for a license; now it is $14.00 -- but it does work.

Once you've set up the specifics, on boot you choose which network you are connected to and you are ready to go.

Novell and XP are also supported. If you look in the "reviews" section, you will find a review from Canada that says the same thing that you seek:

"This program is great! I finally am able to effectively switch between my home network (WinXP Home Laptop to WinXP Home Desktop) and my work network (WinXP Home Laptop to Novell server). THANK YOU SO MUCH."
