UNSOLVED
Networking
In our house we have a DLINK XTREME G Wireless network for our three computers and a printer. My Dad would like to connect his laptop running Windows 2000 to our network but is afraid of erasing his networking settings for inside his office, would connecting to our home network erase all his office network settings?
thank you,

- If the office settings are not assigned by DHCP, then he will need to save off the office settings. That can either be done manually (write them all down), or with a tool like NetSwitcher.
But if the office settings are DHCP-based ("obtain an IP address automatically"), then the correct settings for the office will be received from the office DHCP server, just like the correct settings for home are obtained from the DHCP server in the wireless router.
Hmmm...that assumes that you indeed have a wireless router, and are not running in "ad-hoc" mode on your wireless network. If so, the manual or NetSwitcher approach will work.
