Details: I am using same laptop at Work and Home. My Work network requires me to use a set of DNS Servers which I don't need to use at home. DNS settings need to be updated when laptop is connected with Home Network.
Solution: Use Free IP Switcher from Eusing Software. This program is a freeware and can be downloaded from this link.
As soon as program is started, you would be welcomed with a prompt which requests for registration. A click on "Get registration code" would redirect you to a PayPal page. We have the option of selecting the value we want to donate. I would recommend a small donation for Eusing because this for sure is the best IP Switcher I came across. You always have an option of pressing the "Skip" button.
You can maintain different profiles which have same configuration options. I have configured two profiles - One for office and the other one for Home.
Each profile provides multiple options. You can configure IP Addresses, DNS Servers, Proxy Servers, WINS Server and few other settings. For my office I have chosen to configure DNS Servers.
Configure your profile and click "Activate" and all settings would be configured. Similarly different profile can be created for Home or any other location. This software helps in saving new profile for different locations were we work and to configure network settings for each of them. Also of some one wants to take a backup of current settings or use current settings as a template, "Load Current" can be used which populates all fields with current settings/values. It has configuration to start application on OS start as well.
