Switching between mulitple networks

You'd need to setup a shared printer. Install a printer on a PC or server on the workgroup, share it out. You'll want to have your User account setup on the PC with the shared out Printer (Or give the printer share Everyone access) and install the printer. You can create an IP port and have it print to the IP address (which I don't recommend). I would just go out to the UNC and install the printer - \\servername\ and double click on the Printer. It'll prompt you to install the Printer, hit yes, it's installed.

Any files you want to share, set your laptop's local account (user and password) up on each PC you want to connect to for files. -- Your laptop has a local account. For authentication, create a local account on the server/pc identical to your laptop's user (same username and password) and then you'll have authentication between the networks.
If you share out a folder that you regularly need, you could map to the drive (NET USE x: \\server\\share) or use the Map Network Drive wizard in Windows.

If you need better step by step instuctions on how to do the shares, map drives, etc, just ask and I'll walk you through.

I'll need to know what Operating Systems you're working with, what your laptop's OS is, etc.

I'm sure there is a free app out there to make location profiles. My thinkpad has its IBM Thinkpad Connections manager that auto switches between networks as you plug into them. It can switch over anything including default printer, proxies, can run scripts (could map network drives and such), and more.

Hope he's over 18 so you're not liable..  

Well, a locations manager isn't going to help him much for wardriving so we didn't aid him that much
