RHEL6 Network Manager for Work/Home
 

I have a RHEL6 laptop at work with a static IP address.
I want to take this laptop home to connect to my wired network at home.
My provider users DHCP at home.
Do I need to do anything to configure the network connection when I plug in my cable to my laptop at home or will it recognize
automatically that it's a DHCP connection?
In my Network Manager applet in my Gnome panel I did define a 2nd. Wired connection called home that is set to DHCP.
Thank you.
Dave.

You say it has a static IP at work: is that configured onto the laptop
itself, or is it actually assigned a given IP, via MAC address, by DHCP
(which we do at work).

The laptop is setup with a static IP address at work which is configured onto the laptop itself.

Is it a 192.168 address at work? If not, you are going to have to tell it
to use DHCP.

And please don't top post.

Then Network Manager can't (currently) handle it.

Then
$ service NetworkManager stop
$ vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
# IPADDR=whatsit
:wq
$ service network restart

Dunno. My prompts, whether as myself, root, or sudo, all are
user@server:dir >

But someone who's got a Linux laptop, I'd expect to have some rights, at
least sudo. And he *ought* to have discussed this with his managers, who
you would think would be able to handle that issue.

go to /usr/bin/setup. Create a subdevice under eth0. Network
config->device config->New Device->ethernet->ETH0:0-> Fill in the
information. Now the main device connect under work settings and the
subdevice under the main device connect to home info..
