Whether your notebook has a built-in ethernet port or uses a PC Card network adapter, your best bet is to run a network-configuration program like J.W. Hance's $14 NetSwitcher shareware. Go to www.netswitcher.com for a trial version.

Another useful network utility is GlobeSoft's $36 MultiNetwork Manager shareware. At www.globesoft.com you can download a trial version of this program.
