ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for computer network configuration and address mapping. The invention provides for connecting mobile laptop PCs to a network, without the need to re-configure its network configuration parameters every time. The invention includes a device having a protocol stack configured with a network level protocol address that identifies a first tap point of a local network, so as to provide for data communications between the portable device and a local device connected to a second tap point of the local network, when the portable device is connected to the network at the first tap point of the local network. The invention further includes network equipment for providing data communications between the portable device and the local device when the portable device is disconnected from the local network and is connected to a remote network, while still using the protocol stack of the portable device configured with the network level protocol address that identifies the first tap point of the local network.
