Free IP Switcher

Firstly I would like to explain my line of work. I control Lighting consoles, which nowadays are mostly network-based and integrated with various software that all talk to each via networks.

This software allows me to change all network settings of computers extremely quickly and easily, and I can also save various network profiles. The software is really easy to use and gives me 

all the information I need clearly.

Within my line of work, various computers will be used to feed media information to lighting consoles such a video to be sent to lighting fixtures, which have been pixel mapped, and all this is done through a network with the most frequently used protocol called Artnet.

It is extremely important that the network settings on all devices are configured correctly. The best advantage of this software for me is the ability to be able to see the network settings quickly.

Also when a different network protocol needs to be used all network settings such a SACN, Devices on that network may need to be changed so having the option to save different network 

settings, and being able to recall them quickly is extremely useful and saves a lot of time.

Another process we frequently do in this industry is to use the remote desktop, which again will require configuration of network settings.

But outside of the industry, I work in. I can see how this software would be beneficial for businesses such as offices where everyone working within the office are linked via a local network.

I must remind you that this software can be downloaded for free. That being said it would make me expect that a lot of people would have this software already installed on their computers 

so if I needed to help someone problem solve a network issue that they might be having, it would be really easy and quick for me to diagnose what the problem might be.

I would recommend that anyone who frequently changes network settings and needs to see network information quickly to download this software.
