Windows LAN Settings Switcher

[Mainstay]

Does anyone know of a good (and working) LAN Settings Switcher for Windows (7, 64b)?

I keep finding little utilities on SourceForge but they never work for me.

What I am looking to do is have a short list of preset networks that are quickly set in Network Settings with a click of a button.

Like:

PRESET 1:
IP: 192.168.1.20
SUB: 255.255.255.0
GW: 192.168.1.1

PRESET 2:
IP: 192.168.0.20
SUB: 255.255.255.0
GW: 192.168.0.1

PRESET 3:
IP: 192.168.10.20
SUB: 255.255.255.0
GW: 192.168.10.1

etc.

Just something so I can quickly set my laptop to different LAN's as I move between networks.

If you add to and modify the following BAT script it should do the job for you.
I use it to set 19.168.0.100 but a similar script can be used to set others.

===============

echo setip 192.168.0.100
netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 1

pause

Thank you for this.

I wrote a batch script a while back that had a series of options like pinging google, resetting IP etc. (it was completely meant to help me be lazy)... but I never thought to use it to set interface settings.

Put a CHOICE at the top and away we go... good idea!

Thanks =)

I haven't used this but it has been around for a very long time:

I tried netsetman a while back, worked fine for a couple of hours and then my network broke. I had to actually run full repairs on the network config to fix it. Reviews are generally good for it but that always put me off.

Earlier days of Windows, had some clients use NetSetMan....worked well for them.

I use it on my Windows 8 hybrid without issue.

I use it on my Windows 8 hybrid without issue.

I also use NetSetMan on my Windows 8.1 laptop and another Windows 7 machine. Very useful when setting up routers etc. (I do a lot of installing DD-WRT on cheap TP-Link routers to turn them into WAPs/switch for the local AV installers round here)

AWESOME - two perfect solutions... thank you!
