Most networks use DHCP and then the computer will use whatever DHCP server
is available to obtain proper network configuration. If your computer uses a
static IP configuration as shown via ipconfig /all that can explain your
problems. If you are using DHCP you can try ipconfig /release and then
ipconfig /renew after changing networks though I am not sure offhand if you
can use that if you are not a local administrator. --- Steve
