Why Does Windows Still Not Have a way to config for an Environment
Since the days of Windows 2000 I've craved the ability that OS X has for...well AFAIK... forever. I have multiple network environments that I'm in with my laptop. Home wired is static for bittorrent. Home wireless is dynamic. Work wired is dynamic. Several other locations wireless is static and dynamic, and so on and so forth. We have a group of friends that go to Perkins and leech off of someone's phone, the DNS servers are not default since they suck so I'm using known good servers manually entered. As you can imagine needing to go in and change the IP address, DNS servers, blah, blah, blah is a MASSIVE PITA. Every time MS releases a new OS I've hoped they would finally offer an option to set a type of profile for network settings. And to date, unless I've royally missed something, MS still has, IMHO, dropped the ball. This isn't so much a ____ session as a hope that MS will consider adding this in Windows 8... Also if anyone knows of any third party software that does this....that would be all kinds of spiffy.
