The program is open source and available in both setup installer and portable versions. Make sure to get the correct 32-bit or 64-bit version for your system.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/img.raymond.cc\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/tcpip_manager.png\" alt=\"tcpip manager\" width=\"489\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After launching the program click\u00a0<strong>Create a new profile<\/strong>\u00a0and give it a name. Choose a network adapter from the drop down and configure the IP address, subnet, gateway and DNS servers. Automatic options are also available like in Windows. Optionally go to the Profile settings tab and choose to show the profile in the tray menu and give it a keyboard shortcut so you can launch the profile by a key combination. Finally click\u00a0<strong>Save current profile<\/strong>.\u00a0When\u00a0you want to launch a profile click Apply in the window, press the hotkey combination or select from the tray icon context menu.<\/p>\n<p>Proxy servers can be configured from the corresponding tab, advanced settings include changing the computer name, changing the workgroup name and possibly a unique feature of allowing MAC spoofing on the network adapter.\u00a0TCP\/IP Manager was quite reasonable on memory usage consuming around 4MB while sitting in the tray.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.raymond.cc\/blog\/download\/did\/2089\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Download TCP\/IP Manager\u00a0<i class=\"fa fa-external-link\"><\/i><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>2.\u00a0<strong>IP Shifter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you just want a nice and simple network connection changer, IP Shifter is relatively easy to use and doesn\u2019t require tons of knowledge to configure. It also has a portable version so installation isn\u2019t necessary either.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/img.raymond.cc\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/ip_shifter.png\" alt=\"ip shifter\" width=\"666\" height=\"684\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Start the program, click the button to create a new profile and give it a name. The standard options allow you to select the network adapter from the drop down and then obtain an automatic or manual IP address and DNS server. This window is similar to the Windows Internet Protocol 4 Properties dialog and has boxes for IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS servers. Proxies for Internet Explorer and Firefox can be setup by clicking on Settings and the check box near the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>Once all the profiles are setup you can switch between them by selecting and clicking Apply in the main window or minimize the program to the tray and right click on the tray icon. IP Shifter used around 3MB of memory while in the tray. A couple of useful extras are in the Tools menu to Ping an address, scan the LAN for computers and obtain your public IP address.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.raymond.cc\/blog\/download\/did\/3631\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Download IP Shifter<\/strong>\u00a0<i class=\"fa fa-external-link\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>3.\u00a0<strong>NetSetMan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In contrast to IP Shifter, NetSetMan is loaded with tons of options and may be a bit too much for the average user. For geeks and advanced users though, it\u2019s one of the most feature rich network profiling tools around. Only a setup installer is available but it can create a portable version because the program can be extracted to the folder of your choice.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/img.raymond.cc\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/netsetman.png\" alt=\"netsetman\" width=\"684\" height=\"494\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Most of the settings can be left alone if you only want a simple IP and DNS changer. Choose a renamable SET tab to edit the profile and enter enter the IP, gateway and DNS information or leave what you don\u2019t need on automatic. Use the Activate button or the tray context menu to choose between them. The IP+ button takes you to an advanced settings\u00a0window where extra functions such as routing tables, DNS suffixes and expert settings like running Windows ipconfig commands are available.<\/p>\n<p>Other more advanced networking options like a built in WiFi connection manager, computer name and workgroup changer, create network drives, append to the HOSTS file and a dedicated IPv6 settings window could all prove useful. Other options\u00a0like changing the default printer, changing dozens of system settings or running a script\/program are nice additions but not strictly necessary. NetSetMan uses around 8MB of memory in the background. The free personal use only version cannot change proxies, browser home pages and network domains.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.raymond.cc\/blog\/download\/did\/3632\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Download NetSetMan<\/strong>\u00a0<i class=\"fa fa-external-link\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>4.\u00a0<strong>Net Profiles Mod<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a modified and forked version of the discontinued Net Profiles tool which has not been updated since 2011.

Use the Get Current Settings button to create a profile of your current network configuration. Additional options include proxies, default browser homepage, mapped drives, default printer, running an application, desktop resolution\/wallpaper and connection to a specific SSID. File &gt; Create Desktop Shortcut allows launching a profile via shortcut without having the program running in the background.<\/p>\n<p>There are a couple of issues we had with Net Profiles Mod. Firstly, our WiFi adapter was not recognized unless it was connected to a wireless network. Secondly, you cannot obtain an IP address automatically through DHCP and set the DNS servers manually, or vice versa. This is easily possible through Windows and a drawback if you want to change the DNS but leave the IP alone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.raymond.cc\/blog\/download\/did\/3633\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Download Net Profiles Mod<\/strong>\u00a0<i class=\"fa fa-external-link\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>5.\u00a0<strong>Argon Network Switcher<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Argon Network Switcher is a middle of the road type of tool in terms of features.

Additional options include assigning a specific WiFi SSID, proxy settings, map a drive, set the default printer, start and stop system services, run scripts and applications and also disabling a specific network adapter on running the profile. An interesting feature is Autorun which leaves it up to the program to determine the best profile to launch.<\/p>\n<p>We did notice a couple of bugs during usage. One was the WiFi SSID profiles are not displayed for everyone so you can\u2019t associate a wireless SSID with the network profile. Another was using the Test button in the Drive Map tab freezes the program. However, mounting and unmounting networked drives does work fine.
