Free Windows XP front end for IP Config
« on: May 11, 2006, 07:11 AM »
OK it doesn't do very much but it is handier than having to run IPconfig from the command line and try to remember all the switches.

Thanks, Carol.  I teach several software classes to technicians who are not all that network savvy, and this handy little tool makes my job and theirs easier. 
On a related note, I also recommend my students who are forced to maintain and switch between several static IP addresses  multiple times a day use NetSetMan http://www.netsetman.com/.  Again, not that it is all that much work to change IP addresses, but reducing steps is always good. :)
