Editorial Review of Plug and Browse

If you often connect to more than one wireless or wired network --- one at home, and one at work, for example --- you know the meaning of frustration. Networks usually have different settings. One, for example, may issue IP addresses via DHCP, while another uses static IP address. One may have one set of firewall rules and a default printer, and another network an different set of rules and printer. Perhaps one network requires that a script be run when you connect, or has a set of mapped drives, and others don't.

Every time you connect to a different network, you need to manually change all those settings, which can take a considerable amount of time. That's where Plug and Browse helps. This exceedingly simple tool lets you instantly switch to new, predefined network settings with the double-click of a mouse. You set up a profile for each different network, then double-click that profile when you connect to the network.

Making things even easier is that you don't need to create the profiles manually. Connect to the network, tell the program to gather the settings, and it does it all for you automatically, creating a new profile. The program works with any kind of network, not just wireless ones, so it's useful even if you don't connect wirelessly.
