Sometimes I'm not the admin, or in the case of one of my home networks the router doesn't support DHCP reservations.<br /><br />It should be easy to associate network settings with particular networks, IP, Subnet, Gateway & DNS<br /><br />I can't be the only one, there must be third party apps that do this?<br /><br />I agree with post on SMTP pick a server that will work from everywhere. I like Gmail for this, but don't like that is blocks certain attachment types.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453126.post-11947781109564078762009-05-21T09:21:28.845-07:002009-05-21T09:21:28.845-07:00Wow, outgoing SMTP server?

Ideally, the setup of the network should be transparent to the end user, and you shouldn't have to worry what network you're on for full functionality. It sounds to me like the setup needs a little more flushing out.Sean Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628006595925427776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453126.post-67899133498414557182009-05-21T09:06:04.104-07:002009-05-21T09:06:04.104-07:00Should be a general application feature.

Maybe you can point to a solution for another common problem for nomads such as ourselves.<br /><br />I would like my IP4 settings to also be changed based on the network I'm connected to. E.g. at home I want to use Fixed IP, in the Office I want to use DHCP and at a third site I want to use different Fixed IP and gateway.<br /><br />It's a pain to have to keep manually changing the settings. Surely there must be a better way?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
