Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Wireless network detector & IP settings changer
« on: January 04, 2008, 11:08 AM »
I have always wanted a little app that would automatically detect the wireless network you are connected to and change the IP settings accordingly.
For example, when I'm at work, the SSID=WORK, and I need the wireless card set for DHCP.
When I'm at home, SSID=Home, change it to pre-defined static IP & DNS servers.
I had looked around some time ago, and there's a way to change the IPCONFIG settings via batch/command line, but my problem is detecting the connected SSID. It shouldn't be too hard, just an array of SSID's and the associated IPCONFIG settings for each SSID. When the SSID changes, check the profile listing for that SSID and implement those associated settings.
