Although how to achieve this depends greatly on your configuration.

If you have two network adapters, you need only configure both and use them separately (but not at the same time if they both have default gateways).

If you have one adapter, you can set up an alternate configuration. When you go to input IP settings, there should be an "Alternate" tab. If there isn't, then you'll see the Advanced button at the bottom of the window - it gets a bit trickier from then on in with the advanced tab. Which one works for you?

Although I'm not sure exactly what you need - do you have resources on one network that your computer requires (inadvertently, perhaps) whilst you are not connected to the network?
