Switching between networks

Hope someone can help.

I have to log in to my company network remotely from a couple of different locations all with separate LANs. Can't do anything about that.

I am getting heartily sick of having to reset the networks on my laptop each time though. Is there a utility somewhere that will let me load in details of multiple broadband connections and when I boot up let me pick the network details I want to use?

Freeware would be good but I will buy it if necessary.

    If you set the TCP/IP properties box for the network connection you are using (right click and select properties, highlight Internet Protocols, click the properties button), to obtain the ip address and dns server automatically. If you need to have them manually entered there is an advanced tab that allows you to enter a second set of addresses.
    Sometimes i surprise myself by being right.
