Hi !!

There are some "IP Switcher" for dial-up. Can someone
tell me if there is a similar software for network adaptor ?

Specifically, our environment has 2 seperate LAN segements
(not connected at all) each with a DHCP server. Both LANs
use the same IP addrs and masks.

If there is a special PC (with Win 9x) that needs to switch
between this 2 LANs with an A/B switch, can it be done
*without* re-boot ?

I know that NT workstation provides this feature natively.
In Win 9x, I've used the "Release ALL" and "Renew" IP
of WINIPCFG but to no avail.

Any advice ?

Please cc reply to kensoh@pacific.net.sg

Thanks and regards,
Kenneth

Hi Ken...

There are a couple of products that may suit your needs depending on who is
using these utilities. Neither are "free" but I think you can get evaluation
copies at the respective websites.

One is NetSwitcher...it tends to get a little confusing for the newbie to
average crowd...you can get more info at http://www.netswitcher.com/

The other is a Symantec utility called Mobile essentials...this one seems to
be a little more user friendly...you can dl a trial version at
http://www.symantec.com/me/

Hope this is what you're looking for...Good Luck!
