IPSwitcher Basic Review
A Worthwhile Switch: IPSwitcher Basic
|
You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
-Detects current TCP/IP settings - making the "switch" effortless -Simple, clutter-less interface -Generous, full functioning trial period -Good price point for full purchase
-No explanation of technical terms (WINS, TCP/IP etc). This may deter the average user. -Bland, utility style interface. -No official Vista support.
Usually when you want to switch your TCP/UP settings for reasons such as accessing a different connection or network, you have to
access the TCP/IP settings which are tucked away in some obscure corner of your Control Panel, then restart the computer. IPSwitcher Basic attempts to solve this problem, and it succeeds remarkably well.
This is a real time saver for semi-advanced users looking to access multiple connections on the fly, as well as being almost user friendly enough for the average user. It is a rather niche product, which only a select few will find a real use for, however I enjoyed being able to change my settings so quickly and effortlessly. This program takes the pain out of what used to be a very painful, annoying chore.
The software may be better off with a skinnable mode as well as a wizard for average users (with built in explanation of terms), but all in all this does exactly what it claims to do without fuss. Recommendation: Try it.
