if you edit the ip4 settings of your ethernet connection, you can use dhcp (Obtain an IP address automatically option) for your home and if you click the alternate configuration tab, you can manually input a static ip address for your work...

Awesome!! Thanks...is that something I'll only have to do once? Considering I'm in that menu twice a day, I'm a little ashamed that I never noticed the alternate config tab...

yeah, by doing it this way, it tries to get an ip address through dhcp and if that fails, then tries to use the manually entered ip settings.
no muss, no fuss
i also do this with my personal notebook as i often take it to school
