XP networking trouble

So, I've got my laptop, which I use at my "real" job AND for my record label. At work we have shared files that show up in "my network places" and shared printers and whatnot. I have the same thing at my record label. Usually my laptop switches back and forth between the 2 with no problems at all without me having to do anything.

All of a sudden tonight I went to connect to my record label network, and it connect to the wireless just fine, but it's not changing over in my network places or for my printers. It still thinks I'm at work, but (obviously) I can't open any of the work stuff. Is there any way to tell it to switch back over?

You may not be getting an IP address from your router. I have this prob often, and have to repair the connection.

In my systray, there's an icon for when it's not connected (not the wireless connection, as that one is fine). Inside there, under support (second tab) I can repair, and usually that connect me up fine.

No such luck. Any other ideas?

hmm, not really. I haven't done to much 'multiple-site' setups, so I don't know what to look at next, sorry.
