bober Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 i need a freeware and free standing program {no installation required} so that i can change"Workgroup" and the default gateway/router i.p. it would be used on a laptop that needs to connectto several different workgroups and gateways/routers.i've searched google and sourceforge without luck. there are some commerical programsbut they require installation.a script or a .cmd file would work.does anyone know of such a thing?

tain Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I believe that NetSetMan can do all of that. Please let me know if you have any trouble switching workgroups easily.http://www.netsetman.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bober Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 that a great looking program but i couldn't get it to work. it won't handle dchp or change work groupsthanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tain Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 (edited) You couldn't get it to work or it doesn't do what we are talking about?I've never actually used that program but it has been part of my standard toolkit for a good while since it seemed like a really handy app to have around.

bober Posted June 11, 2006 Author Share Posted June 11, 2006 it appears to do what i need but it doesn't seem to work.when i click the "Activate" button a window pops up{PLease wait....... Applying Settings....} but does nothing. i click the "Refresh" button, i get an error message saying that "service could not be started,because it is disabled or no enable devices are associated with it".

tain Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Have you disabled any services like DHCP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bober Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 dhcp is not disabled. i enable all network related services and some others trying to get it to work but nothing helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tain Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 There is a guide on how to use the software here: http://www.netsetman.com/index.php?s=help.php&hf=enDoes that help you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bober Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 i have used to guide and at this point i will have to say it doesn't work. i must be able to use a dhcp server to obtain the i.p. apparently this part of the program doesn't work.i am not able to change workgroups or any other settings either.

tain Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 That is too bad. That app really looks like the best one. Take a look at these other options:http://www.mobilenetswitch.com/index.htmhttp://www.bvrp.com/eng/products/connectio...ger/default.asphttp://www.globesoft.com/software_products.asphttp://www.interactive-studios.net/index.htmhttp://www.orbitblue.com/ipfly.htmhttp://www.netswitcher.com/index.htmhttp://www.systemnt.com/software.htmhttp://www.lyrasoftware.com/modules/news/i...hp?storytopic=3http://www.gold-software.com/download7215.htmlhttp://www.netswitcher.com/product_info.htmhttp://2000trainers.com/article.aspx?artic...=343&page=1It looks like most cost money, though.We could create a script to do this. I don't have time to do it myself but could probably help you through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bober Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 thank s for the urls Tain. i've tried a couple of them but they too exspensive and some didn't work.bartpe comes with a plugin call "penetcfg". the executable file,"penetcfg.exe", that is in the plugin works but is slow and requires manual editing. it does work however, and is freestanding and cheap{free}.i will stick penetcfg unless i find a better solution.
