How to join in multiple LAN connection?

I have one PC with one ethernet card in a LAN (intranet) with this configuration:

Static IP: 10.6.13.13

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 10.6.13.254

DNS: 10.254.28.50

We have rent two internet connections in two computers (still in the same LAN). But, the ISP give the following configuration:

Static IP: 192.168.1.x

Subnet: 255.255.225.0

Gateway: 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 (two PCs)

DNS: 202.134.0.155

The problem is if we want to connect the internet, we have to change our ip addres,gateway, and dns to 192.168.1.x, etc.

When we are in the internet setting, we can't connect to intranet system. Visa verca.

If we want to connect to 'intranet' we have to change it all again to the intranet setting.

Is there any solution for this problems?

We need to connect intranet & internet at the same time.

Thanks before.

PS. We all use WindowsXP.

    Try to search for NetSetMan. Lastest version is 2.4.1 and is free for non-commercial use.

    Quote from Download.com's publisher description of the product:

    "NetSetMan is a network settings manager which can easily switch between 6 different profiles including IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server, Win server, computer name, printer, DNS domain, workgroup, scripts. It also can get current settings and do a FastSwitch from the tray bar. With only two mouse clicks you can activate a saved profile and it is easy to use and very powerful."

    in case you like the internet connection use a router. in any different case use a change. there is a huge difference between the two. the only use for a router is to get machines out of your community community onto the internet. The in many cases run at 10M, because of the fact the broadband is at maximum around that speed. A change will in many cases be at 100M

    u need a router with two wan connections, then it will route one packet here one there, other way u will have conflicts and no default gateway for both... comp will choose one path, not use both.
