The answer is simple Use windows hardware profiles. They are there for exactly this reason. He will get a menu at boot asking if he is at work or home.

[semi-OT] Hello people, Here's the thing: I have a small network at work (4 computers, each one using a 10.0.0.x address). The Debian server is 10.0.0.1. There's a notebook at 10.0.0.4. However, the guy with the notebook already has a small network at home, which he wouldn't like to change to suit the IP addresses of work. He also doesn't like to always change the IP to 10.0.0.4 and wait for windows to boot one more time before he can start actually working, so he'd like me to, somehow, make his home network' IP address be recognized as local at the debian box. Is there a easy way to do that? My idea was to just alias his IP to the one he is supposed to use (10.0.0.4), so that the server thinks that traffic is coming from that IP regardless of what IP is set on his windoze box (even though it would be fixed). If you understand my question and know the answer, please help. :-) Thanks, Carlos.
