My daughter has a laptop provided by her school. At school she
accesses the wireless LAN on campus and IE is set up with the
appropriate LAN settings (proxy server, etc.) to allow this.

At home we also have a wireless LAN, but the connection settings
required to browse from home are obviously different. How do I
configure IE so that we can use one set of Connection/LAN settings at
home, and another at school?

If I understand your question correctly, I don' think you can. The TCP/IP
properties are bound to the wireless card and would have to be changed for
each of the two connections you talk about.

There is a program that is available on the WWW called "Netswitcher" which
would allow you to configure multiple connections. I think it is only about
$15. I know it works on wired LAN connections so I am assuming it can be
used to configure multiple wireless connections too.
