Switch pre-configured network settings without reboot.
Whenever mobile user moves to a different network, he needs to change particular IP address, gateway address, subnet mask, proxy server, and default printer to particular network environment. In order to do it, he needs to remember TCP/IP settings information of every network. Also, he has to reboot the computer to apply it to the system and to access the Internet. Free IP Switcher switches between preconfigured network settings with a single click and without any reboot. With Free IP Switcher you can automatically change all network settings on your PC: IP address, network masks, default gateway, DNS server, Wins server, proxy settings, and default printer.
Easy to setup and use. Works good, with usable options and clean GUI
Cons
Wish I could easily configure settings on more than one adapter per profile. (i.e. disable WLAN when selecting LAN and vice versa). Maybe I can do this with the script option....

Pros
Makes switching profiles easy... on XP
Cons
Does not work on any windows OS after XP. Vista and Windows 7 it fails miserably. It's abandonware, the author does not answer questions, it's dead. Dont even waste time downloading it.
Summary
Will not work with any current OS. Great if you have a 10 year old laptop running XP 32 bit only (will not run on XP64.)
Extremely Convenient

Pros
It's a multi-networker's dream come true..
<p>
<p>1. I can now switch to work LAN/work WiFi/Home LAN/Home WiFi/Bluetooth DUN/Data Card DUN - all in no time, with the press of a button!
<p>
<p>2. The best part is that you just need to "load current" wherever you go..so no mistakes can happen.
<p>
<p>3. Really helpful when I travel as different offices have different settings..
Cons
Would love it if "Switch on the Fly" functionality could be added - to select Sets from the system tray itself.
<p>Not a con per se, but could be used as a product improvement feature in newer versions.
