[wplug] Laptop Nework Switching -- Forgot something

[Gentgeen Squire]

I forgot to mention something about my network.  I would like to make the switching invisable (sp?) to my web browsers and other internet apps. if possible.  At home I use a proxy setting of 192.168.0.1:XXXX for each setting.  So for each of my internet apps, I have edited the config files (.dillorc, /etc/lynx.conf, phoenix settings, etc)  Is their a file somewhere where I can enter in all my proxy settings, and then just leave all my internet apps as a "direct connect"

ORIGINAL POST:
I have an IBM Thinkpad 380D that I have recently installed Debian
Woody on.  I have everything working with respect to my home network,
but now I want to be able to take it to work and connect.  At home,
my computers have a set IP address, 192.168.0.XXX, the laptop is
192.168.0.4.  At work we use DHCP.  I need to know if there is a
utility out there that will allow me to easily change the network
setting back and forth.  

One of my main goals is to be able to use my laptop as a way to
transfer files (larger then 1.4 mb) back and forth between work and
home.  I have xsmbrowser installed, and according to the
documentation, that will take care of the different smb network
setting, but I do not know how to change the network settings.
