Networking GUI: dhcp vs fixed IP, proxy vs no-proxy?

---

Hi,

Being a mobile device, it gets used in many places, with many WiFi networks.

Setting the various networking parameters involves opening several different setup screens and (often) fiddling around with entering IP addresses, proxies, etc.

Does anyone know of a utility that allows the easy setting of DHCP vs fixed IP, maybe DNS servers and proxy vs no proxy? And, perhaps more importantly, a utility that both does this and remembers the settings for the various networks, allowing a rapid setup on the second and later connections?

Regards,

Geoff.

Sad but am replying to my own message.

Am I the only one that regularly connects to networks with different parameters?

Am still hopeful that someone will know of a utility to store network parameters and allow same to be set with one tap - or someone clever will make such a utility??

Hi Geoff,

No you're not the only one.
Have you found something yet? I could do with the same!

Here's another vote for such a utility, i'd love to be able to use mine at hoem and work without having to dig through several menus to get there.

What about a CAB install with different settings..

Same here mate. I am looking into XML cab files, that modify your network card settings eg DHCP \ Fixed IP and also changing over the Wireless network settings, eg SSID, WEP Keys etc.

Its easy enough to create a shortcut to a CAB file, and one that just changes a few registry settings operates very quickly.

Yes, its a manual workaround.
Yes a application that detects the loss of one WIFI and attempts you connect the others in your device and then configures the WLan card accordingly (DHCP\Fixed IP etc) would be very handy.

No - I haven't got very far yet, I took the idea from another thread where someone used it to RESTORE their WIFI settings after a cold-reset.
