Network Switcher
Network Switcher is a small and simple utility with an intuitive interface which allows you to configure your computer network cards and switch between configurations through the use of profiles. This is the perfect solution for notebook users. Although the configuration is limited to the TCP/IP protocol, Network Switcher is extensible through the use of plugins. Included in the base package, you can find a plugin to enable or disable Internet Explorer proxy server.
The plugins interface allows any user with basic VB.NET or C# programming knowledge to easily write their custom plugins for Network Switcher. Integrating any plugin with Network Switcher plugins interface is really easy and straightforward. Any difficulties you might or might not have while developing whatever it's in your mind, will only be caused by your programming skills.
The neat and intuitive user interface of Network Switcher, allows you to easily create, remove and modify any profile resembling the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties dialog of Windows.
Please notice that during the time between the first binary release and the release of the source code, some little changes were made but never finished; the current source code might not compile without errors or warnings.
