ActiveLAN
-
Version
3.02
ActiveLAN is an easy-to-use IP Switcher tool for
logical switchover between several LANs/WLANs on
multi-homed hosts under Windows. One of several
Network Adapters or Connection Profiles can be
enabled dynamically (on-demand). After the activation
of a profile, the selected network is accessible for
all new-started or re-launched applications. The
other interfaces available in the host remain
logically "disabled" (temporarily inaccessible) for
local applications under Windows. A suspended LAN can
be enabled any time with a mouse click on its profile
in the GUI. Then the roles will be changed: the
interface of the selected profile will be enabled
(active) and all others disabled (suspended). While
switching between the profiles, the tool changes
automatically in the same step the proxy settings of
the Internet Explorer (IE) and Mozilla Firefox, so
that the proxy settings in your browser become
adapted for the used LAN. The tool is useful, above
all, for mobile Internet users who travel often
between different locations or, as a matter of
routine, must connect to one or another LAN/WLAN at a
single location. The tool helps in particular when
several network connections (NICs) are available in
the notebook and, therefore, several LANs/WLANs are
configured for IP at the same time and can be
accessible. ActiveLAN does not store or control the
Wi-Fi (802.11x) settings like SSID, wireless
encryption types, keys, access passwords, etc. and
should not be considered as a replacement for Wi-Fi
Management Utilities to support your WLAN adapters.
ActiveLAN is more useful for saving/restoring the IP
configurations of the network interfaces and for
logical switchover between multiple LAN/WLAN networks
being simultaneously configured and accessible from
your multi-homed PC via IP protocol.
