Network Config and Pingcopa Network Monitoring Software for Windows

Net Profile Switch
$25.95 - JitBit Software

Switch network settings on your laptop/notebook. Ideal for laptop/notebook users, who travel from one network location to another. It switches a computer between multiple network configurations (profiles) with one click of a button. A profile can include LAN-settings (IP-address, DNS, gateway), your browser's proxy settings (supports Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera), Windows Firewall settings, network drive mappings, default printer, SMTP-server and more.

For example you can switch from a static to a DHCP assigned IP address, or switch one static IP address to another.

Use your laptop/notebook on multiple networks: assume you have a DHCP-enabled network at your office, and a static IP-address assigned to your network card at home. Every time you connect your notebook or laptop to a new network, you have to change network adapter settings manually. But, wouldn't it be easier to store two profiles (called "office" and "home") and switch between these two profiles? If you deal with two or more locations, you can benefit from this net switcher utility which creates a profile with your configuration settings: TCP/IP-settings, browser-proxy (Firefox-compatible, Opera-compatible), network drives, default printer settings, SMTP server address etc. Then you can easily switch between locations by activating a profile.

$0 - Softexe.com, CIT AdaSoft

Do you want to increase speed access to network shared folder?
When you list the contents of a remote folder to which your computer is connected by TCP/IP, the results may take much more time to display than when you view a local folder.
This delay occurs whether you use Windows NT Explorer or a command prompt to view the folder. This issue is not specific to any particular network configuration.
