Hi,
I've been lurking for a while meaning to ask about getting my [oldish]
laptop 'mobile' - being able to change from 'home' use to 'office' use.
At home we have a static ip setup, whilst at the 'office' it's dhcp.
Have a look at whereami and ifplugd :)

I did try several apps to do it for me including guessnet but none of
them worked and required editing several config files.
I haven't tried whereami nor ifplug but the simple
'# dhcpcd eth0' works and I don't even need to do all the ifdown/ifup
stuff because when I have finished at the 'office' I just turn off my
laptop and the next time I use it [at home] it reverts back to the
static ip setup that I need -- no config files need to be edited.
It is just a simple solution to my simple needs - KISS :-)
Blessings,
Nigel
