Multiple users with different IP addresses?

Does anyone know if it is possible to have different TCP/IP settings based on what user logs into a XP machine? Or is there a software program that can do this?

Basically, I have a network with 2 domains. I'd like to log into 1 domain and have a certain IP address. I'd like to log into the other domain and have a different IP address.

I understand I can dual IP, but I'd perfer the 2 seperate accounts to have totally seperate IP addresses and TCP/IP information.
 
dont think it can be done, you could make a trust between the domains though. then you will get a drop down list of the two domains you can log onto.

I have that going. I can see the other domain ok. But, we use 2 seperate firewalls depending on which you log into. I was hoping I could have the 2 different profiles use the 2 different proxy clients/have different ip addresses.
 
maybe you could swing it with two nic cards. xp has somthing like that where it detects the subnet of other computers around it and picks the closest profile, but thats more for laptops that go between two networks.
