    Hi, I have an application that uses a static I/P address e.g. 192.168.1.111 (wireless) This is great when I am at home with my router However when I take my LapTop somewhere e.g. starbucks hotel which has a wireless internet connection I obviously have a problem is there something softwere which will convert what ever ip address that the host is to 192.168.1.111

      No. If you understood TCP/IP networking, you'd know why. You cannot "convert" the address. You can, however, tell the network connection to use DHCP and pickup an available address. Nothing to install. It's just changing the properties of the wireless connection.

            No it doesn't - those addresses are for private use for routers, servers, or whatever you want. See RFC 1918[^] for details of the reserved IP addresses.
