Fixed IP doesn't release

[benhen1997]

At my home, I have a fixed IP, 192.168.94.27. However, I noticed that whenever I travel, it wants to use that same IP on all networks, and when I tell it to automatically assign an IP using DHCP, it still wants to use the same network, and it won't connect because most other networks either don't use 192.168, and/or .94.

Hi,

have you tried creating 2 different "locations" in the network preferences ?

One to be used at home (fixed IP), another to be used outside (DHCP).

That works, thanks!
