  17. Simple. Something to change TCP/IP settings to something like 192.168.1.45 and subnet 255.255.255.0 And something to change back to Obtain IP address automaticly and Obtain DNS server automaticly. Can it be done. Any takers. The work I do I have to manually change back and forth numerous times daily. Kinda a pain on a laptop when you can't type fast. Desktop keyboard is easier with the number pad. Mike
