Hi,

  I posted this question looking from advice of people who uses a laptop 
at work or university and at home, using the same ethernet interface. NM 
does not seens to handle this kind of connection, say two IP addresses 
with the same network card, so I remebered this utility called "netenv".

   Thanks
