Computer users who regularly work in different locations that require specific network connection settings are used to change network settings like the network adapters IP address, gateway or DNS servers quite frequently.
The network management software Network Switcher offers a better solution to manually changing network settings. It can store multiple network profiles allowing the user to switch between network profiles easily whenever the need arises.
Each profile that is created in Network Switcher contains two network connections that contain various networking parameters including the IP address, DNS servers, the subnet mask and the default gateway. It is furthermore possible to enable the option to obtain IP addresses from DHCP servers.
Network Switcher is limited to the TCP/IP protocol and extensible through plugins. One plugin, to disable the Internet Explorer proxy, is provided by the developer of the software.
The software is Open Source and the source code is supplied with the download of the networking software.
Network Switcher requires the Microsoft .net Framework 2.0 and is compatible with Windows XP or newer Windows operating system.
It seems that the developer has discontinued development of the software program.

Looks like a nice utility. Unfortunately all that seems to be available at the author’s website is a link to source file downloads. I didn’t see any binaries available for the app itself
FYI: A quick Google doesn’t seem to find a good download source either. Almost all the hits point to a similarly named non-free utility called Net Profile Switcher.
A compiled binary is included in the download.
I use Network Settings Manager to do the same thing, it’s still being actively developed, and with an added bonus of having a portable version as well.

I downloaded it but to use it you have to give the location of the Network Connection Folder. After a bit of searching I found C:\Windows\System32\NCPA.CPL but the program isn’t accepting that. Anyone have any idea what i have to enter? I’m running xp and win 7 on two different computers.
On my opinion Netsetman is better solution.
