Keep static IP for each network?

Is there a way I can keep a different static IP for each network I connect to?

Like on my house, I wanted 192.168.1.200 (Which worked till I connected to a different internet)
And at my friends house, when it connects, it connects with 192.168.1.150.

and as I reconnect to whichever internet, it switches to that IP.

The best and easiest way to do this is to list the different connections "Ip's, DNS, subnet, gateways" in your advanced TCP/ip properties window. You can even list more than one subnet there. Using this window keeps you from having to designate new settings for each connection. You can just list them one after the other.

TLDL all posts. (Also dont want to use any other software)

I sorta see what you guys are saying, but the main reason I want this is even though we both had 192.168.1.1 as the subnet mask, 192.168.1.200 didnt work on my friends internet (it said DCHP or something wasnt enabled) and 192.168.1.150 doesnt work on my internet (Because its already in use by my xbox.)

It connects to the router, but I dont get internet.


And another thing, I cant find that page that chev65 posted. Is it possible because I use wireless or something?

The page is there but I didn't post the exact pathway, wireless or wired it works for both.

In the first window right click the IPv4 line and choose properties, then click the setting to "use the following IP address" this will allow you to choose a static IP in the advanced TCP/IP properties. You can do the same for the DNS server although it usually works best to let the router do that part for you.

After that choose the "Advanced" setting which gets you to the TCP/ip settings window. You then choose the "Add" button to add info from the network you need to set up.

Click add again to set up the next network, you can list the networks one after the other.

It works really well and will retain your static IP's and other settings from each network. :)

Yea but it doesnt let me do that for individule networks. It only lets me do it for my wireless adapter for all networks at once.

I can assure you that it works absolutely perfectly.

If you clicked on the wireless adaptor first then thats the one you will be adding static IP's for. If you need to add extra static IP's for your wired eithernet adaptor then click on the IPv4 properties of your wired connection adaptor. You can add more than one static IP for each adaptor as required.

You need to use the "Add" button after entering the info for each network. The Add button allows you to enter next static IP.

To make this perfectly clear I have set up two different default gateways and IP's as an example. You would only need to enter the second default gateway if the default gateway on the other router is differerent than the first one.

I can't think of any other way to explain this better. Hope this helps you out cclloyd.
