Change home and work proxy utility?

[SlinkyMike]

Hi,

Does anyone else suffer the ballache of having to switch between home and work Internet settings daily?

I cant imagine that there isn't some sort of *freeware* system tray utility that would allow you to switch in 2 clicks.

Maybe I'm a dumbass and theres another way to set this up?

Netswitcher

Takes care of all the settings ... proxy, default printer, WiFi Access point, IP addresses, you name it. I've been using it for years cause of all the different settings at clients

@ Landyman - that looks like a really cool utility - thanks!

Might need something like that at my offices

sounds like the ticket, but maybe a freeware equivalent?

Have been using it for a quite a while works really well. I have 3 Proxy server configured and can switch between then with 2 clicks

Looks cool but not much of an IE fan...

I just use Foxyproxy ( http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/ ) with firefox

QuickProxy for Firefox also works like a charm if the only things you want to change are the proxy settings

Thanks all,

The apps mentioned above all do what I want to some degree.
I'm gonna punt my new friend Net Profiles (

) though - in XP it'll even switch automagically according to which wireless network it detects, one wonders how they could have omitted this from the OS to begin with?
