Need to set up an ip for work and a different ip for home. Seems airport utility only allows one ip for the computer, and then assigns that ip to all networks. Can I set ip addresses for particle networks?

Not true.
The WiFi card is set to use DHCP to get an IP address from a DHCP server on the network. This happen automatically. Even if you are getting the same IP address at home and at work that doesn't mean anything other then both your home and work LANs are using the same Private IP address range, more then likely 192.168.1.x (but could be any of the Private IP address ranges), and just by chance both are assigning the same IP address.
If you have turned of the DHCP in the computer and set a Static IP to the computer that is not needed and will only cause problems for you connecting to available networks. So I suggest you don't do thatb and let the computer get a valid IP from the DHCP servers on all networks you may want to connect to.
Maybe I was unclear, I need a set static ip for my home network and a different static ip for work.
Create Locations for home and work in the Network preference pane. For details, see the built-in help.
Ok but why do you want to use a Static IP at home. What is the reasoning behind that?
So your place of work uses all static IP address assignments? With NO DHCP server at all?
In that case there is only one way to handle this. That is to assign a different Static everytime you change networks.
The other way is to assign a static for WiFi and a different for Ethernet. Another is to make your home LAN use the same IP range as your work LAN and then just use the same static on the computer for both. That is probably the easiest thing to do.
