There are a few second party multiple IP change utils probably a open 
source one or two.

One then has a icon or status bar tool, it has names like office, home, 
Boston, ect.

not sure if they , the tools have to rights or admin needs to adjust reg 
rights ,or both, ect.

here is one. http://www.pcnet-online.com/downloads/ipswitcherpro.htm

Or ..you could upgrade to xp - it allows a alternate ip setting .. not 
sure of the rights issue. That could probably be adjusted agin by reg 
rights adjusting behind the scenes.
