I got bored and went to bed, 2 great streaks of pelican sh*t blasting unplayable serves at each other is not something I can watch for 6 hours. The attraction of watching the Beast bounce around the court was not not enough of an attraction to keep me up.
Your rant seems perfectly justified to me!

Hi all,
Usually I change from my office to the customer's location.
In each place I need to specify a different IP address.
Years ago ibm and lenovo included the "thinkvantage access connections" which allowed to select a configuration from a list after pressing a key combo.
Are you using anything similar? Can you recommend something as a replacement for the lenovo software?
Ps: I want to replace it because it no longer works in Windows 10.
Thank you all!

Not sure if its in W X but there used to be a way of setting profiles for using from different locations (like a laptop you use at work and home). It was there in XP through 7. Good Luck...

Probably that was what it was used by Lenovo Access Connections...

Even if you run it as Windows XP or Windows 7 compatible?

It seems it doesn't after the latest Windows 10 update.

Is it possible to run netsh setting files?
I was (win xp and 7) using a bat as menu interaction and then changing the eth settings executing the netsh files

GREAT IDEA Nelek!
I'll try it.
Thank you!

If it works, tell me... I will write a tiny tip for it

Hi again Nelek,
it is not difficult to use that set of commands, in fact a simple
netsh -c interface ip dump >> c:\folder\file.cfg
makes a complete backup of the current configuration. While a
netsh -f c:\folder\file.cfg
Recovers that configuration automatically.
Great and easy.
The only problem I can see is that in windows 10 it doesn't store the DNS configuration in the backup process so it can't save it for later recovery.
Not that super thing given why I want to use it, but... does that work in your scripts? And, if it works... what have you done?
Thank you!

I made a bat to bring a menu, where to select which configuration I wanted.
d - DHCP
1 - Configuration 1
2 - Configuration 2
...
x - Exit
Selected entry called a configuration_X.netsh file where the specific data for each connection / customer were saved and my eth got the desired settings in a couple of seconds.

My objective would be to store the data in a file via backup (storing the dns too), and afterwards being able to reload those files (recovering the dns too).
Are your bat's working with the DNS settings too?
Thanks!

Mine... nope.
Only IP, Gateway and Subnet-Mask
I think it could work, but never needed it because I was only in "offline" networks for production, so no DNS at all.

Then I won't spend more time on it, it's a super-solution:
I can store the right IP addresses into the folder of each project.
Super simple.
Thank you for pointing me to this.

I have had a look... I already had it configured in my files... but never used it. I think it worked on Win XP and maybe not in Win 7 that's why I commented them out (can't be 100% sure right now because I didn't need it)
pushd interface ip
set address name="LAN-Verbindung" source=static addr=192.168.0.219 mask=255.255.255.0
set address name="LAN-Verbindung" gateway=192.168.0.1 gwmetric=0
#set dns name="LAN-Verbindung" source=static addr=192.168.1.100 register=PRIMARY
#add dns name="LAN-Verbindung" addr=192.168.2.129 index=2
#set wins name="LAN-Verbindung" source=static addr=none
popd
LAN-Verbindung is the standard name of the controler on german windows

Don't they use DHCP?
I have a DHCP server set up on my router at home, and they use it at work as well.

In the industrial sector it is not very common to have the DHCP activated in the machines that are being programmed.
And in some cases, you need to connect to specific IP addresses forced by the manufacturer of the device (i.e. robot...).
Alas... I can't use this approach.
Thank you anyway Daniel.

Whenever I have faced this problem (since Windows XP/Server 2000) I have successfully used "DCHP Reservations" (other terminology may be used) to always return the same IP address (based on MAC address) to a device following a DHCP request. This gives the advantages of central management for all such devices combined with the flexibility to be able to connect a device at different locations with different IP settings e.g. IP, gateway, DNS etc. without configuration changes.
Windows AD certainly has always supported this approach. I would guess that Linux etc would be able to do as well.
If you are not in a managed domain then there are open source DHCP servers available that could be used to give the same result

Office network is mostly separated from the production network.
I have programmed some machines that were in a extra separated segment in a local LAN with only one device connected with another lan card to the otuside to exchange data with server.

I do lots of work on different jobsites and am constantly changing IP/network settings. Try NetSetMan, I think this is what you are looking for, and has been great to use over the years.
Found Here: Windows IP Freeware NetSetMan: Network Settings Manager (LAN & WiFi)[^]
It's freeware and has lots of options. I think it is only windows though, so if you have Linux/Mac, you are out of luck.

The solution pointed by Nelek (using netsh) is super interesting given it is completely free, it can be stored in each project...
Yours is one of the best options, but it's not free
