Manage Different Profiles with Pre-configured IP Settings Using TCP/IP Manager

There are some really good programs that make managing different set of profiles with pre-configured IP settings a breeze. TCP/IP Manager is one amongst them. The program has the ability to manage up to 10 different profiles with individual TCP/IP settings and no matter where you are, at home or at work it tracks network configuration at various locations.

TCP/IP Manager can be downloaded for free and consumes less than 500KB of your hard disk space. It is an open-source tool that makes changing network settings a one-click operation.

You all will agree that it is not only tiring but a time-consuming task to manually change the TCP/IP network settings every time you switch to a different environment. Say you are in your office then switching to your office network from home network may require different DNS setting. Moreover, you will have to type/enter the IP address, Subnet mask, default gateway and DSN one by one thereby wasting your time and energy.

So, why not have a utility that simply allows users to copy and paste the respective network IP addresses directly and eliminate the need of re-typing unnecessarily? And TCP/IP Manager does exactly this! Besides, it also provides the option to choose specific profile and minimize it to the system tray so that it can be accessed later whenever required by simply clicking on the system tray icon.
