Questions, questions, questions, when will they end. My latest one relates to setting up a laptop that is currently used on a network at work to work on BB at home.
The way I see it is that you cannot have 2 LAN icons and switch between them whether at home or work. But you must pick the LAN / TCPIP and if (as it is in this case ) the "use the following IP address" is used. Then you have to click the auto settings for use on BB at home and re-enter the IP address etc. for use when back at work.
Is there an easier way like say Printers when you can have Icon for each and you just change the default.
