It is possible to add a new LAN profile to the list by selecting the network adapter and specifying the profile name and type: DHCP or IP settings. The last mentioned option means that you have to edit the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS and alternate DNS server. For each network type you can use proxies.

All profiles are recorded in a separate area. JimIP Switcher creates an icon in the system tray at initialization and, after selecting a profile from the LAN list, you have to confirm it from the tray.

JimIP Switcher integrates options for running a Trace or Ping command on any selected IP address or URL with a user-defined time interval, as well as for scanning the network by defining the start and end IP address. The network profiles can be edited or removed from the list. Last but not least, JimIP Switcher features backup and restore options.
