IpConfig

IpConfig is a very simple utility that allows you to quickly configure network settings for multiple adapters on your computer.

Especially useful if you access multiple networks with the same laptop, IpConfig even allows you to save profiles and quickly load them at a later time.

Once you select a network adapter, IpConfig automatically detects and displays the current configuration, including IP address, subnet, gateway and DNS servers.

Obviously, it gives you the option to set up a new profile and change the settings with just a few clicks, either by inputting the new addresses or by selecting a pre-configured profile from the drop-down menu.

IpConfig doesn't place an icon in the Tray to let you quickly change network profiles, so you need to manually launch the program every time you connect to a network that requires a different setup.

What's more annoying however is the fact that the only window of the program cannot be resized and moved around the screen, so it just stays in the middle of the desktop all the time.

On the good side, IpConfig does its job very well and works flawlessly on all Windows iterations, including on Windows 7 where administrator privileges are needed to enable a new network configuration.

All things considered, IpConfig can come in handy, there's no doubt about it, but several improvements here are there are still needed. Good thing it's free though.
