When reinstalling Windows or upgrading to a new PC, we usually have to set up everything from scratch. We reinstall apps, re-download important files, and reconfigure several settings here and there. This includes credentials for wireless network profiles and configuring your network settings, such as the static IP and DNS that you want to use. If you’re a network administrator who is required to configure network profiles on multiple PCs and on a regular basis, such a task could take a bulk of your day's time. Network Profiles Utility can really save the day in such situations. Designed as a portable application, Network Profiles Utility can easily import and export wireless connection profiles as well as IP and DNS settings among multiple Windows machines. Read More

Most offices are secured by firewalls which require complicated proxy settings to use the internet. This creates a problem for many users who take their laptops to office and later find it hard to undo the proxy settings to use the internet when they come back home. A solution to this problem can be the previously reviewed Free IP Switcher, however, it requires entering network settings manually and does not auto-detect proxy and associated settings. A better alternative can be JimIP Switcher. It  has the ability to auto detect network settings for creating a network profile, which can be used to separately manage multiple connection settings (e.g. network settings for home and office network). This way you can connect to a network without having to manually reconfigure settings repeatedly. Each profile can be assigned a relevant name for easy identification. With JimIP Switcher, you can optionally configure default printer settings, WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) Server settings, and map network drives. Read More

Whenever users switch to different wireless networks, they require changing particular IP address, gateway, subnet mask, proxy server configurations, etc. This creates the problem of remembering TCP/IP settings of every network. With Free IP Switcher you can automatically change all network settings of your system, including, IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, DNS, Wins server, proxy settings and more. Read More
