If you MUST use a static ip at each location, the easiest way I can think of is to make a batch file for each location, with some netsh commands.
Example:
This assumes your wireless network card is named "Wireless Network Connection" if you are using you LAN card it would most likely be "Local Area Connection"
To set a static IP for my home:
netsh interface ip set address name="Wireless Network Connection" static 192.168.51.101 255.255.255.0 192.168.51.1 1
Now lets say I walk into my office, I can run:
netsh interface ip set address name="Wireless Network Connection" static 192.168.50.101 255.255.255.0 192.168.51.100 1
Now lets say you need to act as a DHCP client:
netsh interface ip set address "Wireless Network Connection" dhcp
Now you go to another clients location, in which you need DNS & IP settings entered you could make a batch file like:
netsh interface ip set address name="Wireless Network Connection" static 10.29.210.140 255.255.255.0 10.29.210.21 1
netsh interface ip set dns "Wireless Network Connection" static 10.29.210.100 1
Pretty simple. If you need help with making a batch file, let me know. This still takes some time to set the IP, but it's much nicer to just double click on an icon then click through 5 screens.
