network adaptor profiles

[rookie1010]

Hello

I came across the statement that windows XP supports two IP profiles per adaptor, i was wondering how two profile are maintained, is it that windows xp holds two sets of variables, and in case it wants the first profile active. it writes a set of values to the hardware registers in the network adaptor and in case it wants the second profile, it writes the values corresponding to the profile into the same set of hardware regsiters on the network adaptor?

Not sure what you mean. Maybe you can provide me with a link for to where you got the idea.

I don't know if XP by default supports that, but you can do it with third-party software.
