How to automatically change network adapter settings upon new network

How to automatically change network adapter settings upon new network

I am connecting to many different networks on a regular basis. Some use DHCP and the other requires a static IP to be set in different network classes (10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x)
Is there a way to set the network adapter to change when a new network is selected (similar to profiles in wicd)
Just to be clear, what I am doing currently now is opening properties on my adapter -> Internet Protocol Version 4 -> Properties -> Then flip between DHCP settings and use the following IP address.
This is also problematic as the static IP is cleared when I select DHCP. So I need to keep a list of valid IPs as well.
I am aware of alternative configuration as mentioned Automatically picking network settings based on the wifi network and Static and dynamic networks on the same network adapter, but I require more configurations than one.
