You shouldnt need to. This is almost a waisted feature. I just set mine to work network, and its good. I can get the internet and my shared docs on the work setting. The work setting was designed before Microsoft believed that practicly every home had wifi.

Work for direct isp connect too?

What if you connect through the work setting at home using wifi and then use your cell phone to connect when out. I have been toggling back and forth between "work" and "isp" and it's a pain. I swear I had my old machine set up to automatically dial via bluetooth if it didn't sense a wifi connection, but I can't remember how I did it. :(

Mine is always set for "Work", whether it be on my home network or at a hotspot.

Are you running wm5?

While I can find a place to set "work" or "internet" in the wlan settings of wm5, I cannot find a place to specify "work" for a bluetooth device. :(

Oops, I shouldn't have included my cell phone in that blanket statement. However, under Proxy Settings, I do have "This network connects to the Internet" checked.

I have it set up so WORK means my cell phone connection and the internet means WiFi. I was hoping there was an easier way to toggle.
