Okay, what I am looking for is this....

Currently someone who wants to use their axim at home and work (wirelessly) needs to constantly change settings, or if they are lucky they have the same brand equipment at home and can set it up identically. The alternative is to be dumb enough to work for a company that leaves access open, and do the same at home.

If you are familiar with IP dashboard it is nice, but what I would like to be able to do is have a similar desktop program like it that allows me to press a button and confirm (to avoid accidents) and switch to one profile settings, and press another to switch back.

I get home where I have a static IP address of xxx.xxx.x.xxx and wep set off. (Not really, just making a point). I press a button assigned to profile 1 and poof, all settings are changed for this network.

I get to work the next morning where IP's are assigned by DHCP but WEP is enabled to 128bit. I press a button assigned to profile 2 and poof, all settings changed for this network.

I decide to go for a drive, and out of curiousity I want to see how many netowrks are open between my house and the book store down town. I press a button assigned to default and poof, wep is turned off, IP is DHCP determined, and I have enabled 'connect to any'

The problem is now the program would have to integrate or override Dell WLAN utility AND Odyssey. I don't know if it is possible.. but imagine how much easier it would make networks for people who actually leave the house.
