connection profiles in vista?

This is the scenario: our IT made it a policy to issue static IPs to employees. So we configure both LAN and wireless IP configs with a given IP addresses, gateways, DNS, etc. However, most of us are mobile and when we connect to wireless and ethernet LANs outside the company, we want to be able to EASILY switch between static configs and dynamic configuration. This may not be such a big problem with Wifi but with LAN it is because I find myself having to manually change from static to dynamic everytime. Also, I want the system to be able to remember the settings like a network profile so I can easily switch to the specific network configuration depending on where I am, eg HOME, CLIENT1, CLIENT2, OFFICE, etc.

How can do this in Vista networking?
