The downside is that the interface is not very clearly designed.
You can also backup all of your connections settings in a separate file which you can then send via e-mail to another person who has NetSetMan installed. The entry fields are also easier to input data into than Windows ‘Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties' dialogue, which for some strange reason, tends to add extra zeros. As long as you have the details to hand, you can set-up 6 different connections in just a few minutes. The good thing about this program is that it's very easy to set up a connection. Other settings you can configure are the Computer Name, WINS Server, Default Printer and Run Scripts. These settings are then saved as tabs which you can flick between and activate according to the connection you are using. The free version of this program (for non-commercial use only) allows you to create 6 profiles - more than enough for most users - including IP address settings, Subnet Masks, Default Gateways and DNS servers.
NetSetMan takes the pain out of this by allowing you to rapidly change between pre-configured network settings. Entering proxies, static IP addresses and other LAN configuration data can be really annoying if you have to switch quickly or regularly. If you constantly use your laptop or PC between several different internet connections, then you're probably tired of having to constantly configure them.
