Static IP and Wireless Profile

Let me start out by saying, I HATE Windows 8.  Have to use it as part of my job.  It's okay on the tablet, but god does it suck on a desktop.

I have a Lenovo Tablet running Windows 8 Pro.  I travel with it, and visit various businesses.  I have a couple of bussinesses that DO NOT have DHCP servers on thier networks.  Every device gets a static IP, period end of story.  

If you can help me answer this question then that's great, but I don't need lectures on how to setup networks or how that doesn't make sense or anything else.  They aren't going to change thier networks and I'm not going to start having discussions with the IT people about how they should setup thier network.

The question of the day is...Can I assign a static IP address to the Wireless profile used at Location A, so that when I'm there and the wireless connects I don't have to manually go in and put in the address for that location.  The goal is to have the tablet connect at the locations where I need a specific IP address without intervention, while also allowing it use DHCP when connecting at home, or other locations where DHCP is available.

I've looked at couple of utilities and they don't seem to give what I need.
