switching from home network to other network

[d***@yahoo.com]

Hi,
I'm using freebsd 4.9 on my laptop. It was installed
from a campus through a network with a http proxy with
dhcp.

However, at my home I have this cable internet service
provider. I want to use this cable internet connection
now also on my laptop but I don't want to risk losing
my network settings on my campus network.

What and how should I proceed? Or because at the
campus I use dhcp I can just rerun stand/sysinstall to
scan for this connection? Or do i have to use ipconfig
or ifconfig?

Brgds

i can also offer a patch that will autodetect whether you use your
laptop at home or at the campus and configure it automatically.

it will only work on FreeBSD 5.x though.
