Hi guys,

I know this has been asked before, and I did have a quick search, but I can't find!

Are there any Free Apps that will let me swap my IP address between multiple networks? so profile one will let me have a dynamic and profile 2 - 4 will let me have different statics.

I know windows can let you set an alternative configuration, but that doesn't work so well with what I need to do.

Cheers!

you can add loads of IPs and gateways in the advanced IP setup in connection properties. Set one for all static IP networks and DHCP in alternate config for all other DHCP networks. Sorted.
 
I think you can do what you want with the 'netsh' command. Setup a batch file for each 'profile' and fire up that batch file when you need to switch profile.

I've got some examples of how to do it sitting in the office, but I'm working in Holland this week so I don't have them available.

Sounds like that might do the trick, had a quick look but not sure on how to set it up.

Cheers for the pointer though!

shouldn't need to. IP config in windows is a global setup, if you give it say 4 static IPs and DHCP alternate then it should use whichever IP and gateways work in it's environment or pick up DHCP if it's available. This should happen regardless of profile or domain settings of any kind. Unless of course the domain profile forces an address, but by the fact your posting it obviously doesnt.

Local area connection> properties>advanced.
Should see 2 tables one for addresses one for gateways, add them all in there and set the alternate config to DHCP. Done. 5mins, no hassle.

Yep, I see that, unable to set anything in it. Also there are application reasons that I can't set it to alternative configuration - it stops various programs from running.
