Cumbersome interface
Igloo_VindalooMay 10, 2014
Pros
Slightly quicker than making changes to network connections manually
Cons
Not obvious how to switch back
Summary
 Updated on May 10, 2014Getting better now I updated to the latest version (this site links to an old one), and now I'm getting used to the cumbersome interface. Quite quick to switch profiles (including DNS) in a 4 mouse clicks and 10 seconds.
Great software that makes networking so much easier
Zizzy86September 1, 2009
Pros
Allows to set multiple sets of settings. Allows to set DNS while getting an automatic IP (windows doesn't let you). Works quickly and shows clearly. The status box is really helpful. Free not even a trial completely free.
Cons
When you hit refresh it automatically switches between wired and wireless back to wired. Also, it doesn't switch the presaved windows settings back to what they were when you switch off it such as to switch back to automatic.
Summary
Great product. I recommend anyone that is using multiple networks and has to manually set the ip settings to get this. And of course it is free for individuals use.
works as expected

Great program for setting up multiple network profiles
Zizzy86February 9, 2009
Pros
Easy switching between profiles. Not a complicated program. Makes my day.
Cons
I can't say anything bad.
Summary
This product is amazing
Very snall yet useful program!
molojomoJuly 13, 2008
Pros
it loads QUICK! very easy to use!
Cons
there are only 4 slots available to preset. the program cannot detect the network device (LAN card or Wireless) if it is disabled, therefore can NOT AUTOMATICALLY RE-ENABLE the device from its disable state. It would have been nice (like Mobile Net Switch) if the program can enable/disable a network device and apply the corresponding settings.
Summary
Very solid -- exactly what I needed to network on different nets w/ diff configs

Pros
Cons
It does get hung up on DNS -- I don't think its netsetmans fault though
Summary
Easy to use and making your life much easier
Jimmy HoJuly 31, 2007
Pros
For notebook PC users who need to use the PC both at work and at home, this is the best piece of utility software I've ever seen. Highly recommended!
Cons
There should be more documentation for those who do not have a strong technical background about the settings of print server, drive mapping etc. Also, the Vista version is still in beta. Hopefully, the production version should be ready when Vista SP1 is out.
Summary
Good, straight forward, easy to use program
g2computingApril 30, 2007
Pros
Good clean interface. Program worked as it should. Install was nice and simple. Better then other Network switching programs I have used. Will definately keep it as part of my tool set.
Cons
The only slight gripe I have, was having to refresh the NIC card selection. Not a major fault, but would have been if it picked the default NIC automatically.
Summary
Small but very handy tool, adviced!
gubievrJuly 24, 2006
Pros
-You can configure up to 6 different IP connection that can have 3 different IP and DNS number. -Very quick, It changes settings within seconds. -Takes just 3.5mb when minimized to tray. -It does what it says.
Cons
-have win98 like gui (actually it is not a con)
Summary
Allows full configuration of network settings easily
Simbone5January 22, 2006
Pros
Up to 6 profiles that can be named.Can change DNS, PC names, workgroups, printers, scripts.Good help file also.Great program if you move between a few networks.
Cons
No 'send to tray option' unless it starts with windows. 6 profiles might not be enough if you have several different network adapters (e.g. wireless and wired) and move around a lot.
