remote access windows 98 box via cygwin

Hi all,

I have a windows 98 box (no choice for my app) that I access remotely
via an ssh server running through cygwin. Up to this point its always
been connected to the internet and has had a static IP for remote
login.

This box is now going to be running unteathered (no internet/not even
WiFi) and controlled remotely from a laptop over a stand alone LAN
(laptop <-> router <-> 98 box). To do this I reassigned the 98 box a
local IP (192.168.....).

The problem is that I need to use this 98 box in both modes:

1) Original mode (teathered to internet) where I can access it from an
external machine over the internet
2) Second mode (unteathered LAN) where I access it from the laptop
over the stand alone LAN.

Is it possible to do this without having to change the IP address
(static IP <-> LAN IP) of the 98 box everytime I switch between
modes? Thanks for any info,

Kev
