Hi How can I have 2 different networks on 1 pc? In other words in 1 area (north) we belong to 1 type of WAN network and in another area (west) we belong to another type of WAN network setup. I wish to use take my laptop to either one of the areas and connect to there network. Is there some type of software that will allow me to do this? Both of the area networks are in the Government Health Service.
