How do I change changing network connections automatically?

I have a wireless connection at my hotel and both wireless and cable connection at the office. I prefer to use the cable connection at work as it is more reliable and is preferred as I am using a personal laptop in the office and getting the wireless configured properly is a bit of a problem. Anyway, I have to continuously change my network connection settings every morning and afternoon on internet explorer, firefox and yahoo messenger. Is there an easier way to automatically let these programmes detect and choose available networks?How do I change changing network connections automatically?
Depending on your OS, and if it is showing in Taskbar, you can right-click on the Network Connections icon and select connect to a network. You should be given an option to connect to wireless.



Another suggestion would be to invest a few dollars into purchasing ';Network Magic'; (see my link below). It is worth the investment, especially if you are connecting to various networks and computer systems. It's a great tool for using in a home network. I have multiple computers in my home network. The other OS on the pc's is Windows XP. My primary pc is a notebook with Windows Vista. Sharing and connecting to each pc via Microsoft tools is a pain and very slow. Nework Magic allows for easy connections and fast.How do I change changing network connections automatically?

You can choose that in wireless properties.
In Internet Explorer just go to the Tools menu and select Internet Options. Then click on the Connections tab. At the bottom of the dialog box it will have a LAN Settings button. Click on that and then click to put a check mark in the Automatically Detect Settings check box under Automatic Configuration. Press OK on all the open dialog boxes and you should be good to go. You might have to restart IE to make the change permanent, but after that it will detect however you are connected and get you on line without having to do anything.
By wireless connection are you using a router, satellite or WiFi?

You should not have to change net work connection settings. In task tray just right click on computer icon and choose the wireless connection that you wish to use. When you right click on icon in task tray you can also click on view available wireless connections and it will tell you what is available in what ever location you are at. For cable, DSL and dial up there should be a short cut created on start screen and then all you do is double click it and connect. You can have multiple connections set up and use any by just clicking on the icon for the one you wish to use and never have to change configurations each time. Just go to your Internet service provider and they will guide you through each set up. In Internet Explorer and fire Fox click on tools, Internet options, connection tab. put check mark in box use any.
