Every time You want to change the IP, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS Server of your network connection You usually change settings using this window:

That procedure is unpleasant if repeated every day. To get this done easily You can use the batch files contained in this Zip archive.

Every script file contains some instructions that use the netsh.exe utility (a .cmd file is a batch file that contains a series of commands executed in order; can be run by DOS or Windows) . If You are using a Windows-based computer You already have netsh.exe in your system. If you need more informations about the command "netsh" used in these batch You can click on Start/Run, and enter cmd. The command prompt opens. Enter netsh /? and You'll see its options and parameters.

How to use these script files?

Method # 1 : export/import your network settings

When You are connected to your LAN # 1 (for instance when You are at your workplace) run the script named Export-LAN1.cmd; The file LAN1-settings.txt (containing settings such as the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DNS and WINS addresses) will be created.
When you reach location #2 (and you are successfully connected at your home LAN) run the script named Export-LAN2.cmd; The file LAN2-settings.txt will be created.
After creating the two Txt files you'll never need to manually change LAN settings again: whenever you need to quickly change your network settings and change between LAN #1 and LAN #2, just run the Import-LAN1-Settings.cmd or the Import-LAN2-Settings.cmd files.

Method # 2 : edit the script files

Important: You have to manually change the numbers of the IP, subnet mask, gateway and DNS Server according to your settings before launching the LAN-1.cmd or the LAN-2.cmd batch file.

Just edit the LAN-1.cmd and the LAN-2.cmd file entering the settings of the two networks (You can open the files with Notepad). If you have correctly edited them You can quickly change your LAN settings with a double-click on one of the two file.

If You have to set your computer to obtain its network settings automatically using DHCP you can run the LAN-3-DHCP.cmd script file.

Are you wondering how to resize partitions in Vista without losing any data and without using 3rd party software?

To resize a partition with Windows Vista, follow these steps:

There is a slight chance that data can be lost when dealing with partitions: Be sure to back up any valuable information.

• Click on the Start menu
• Right click on Computer and click on Manage

• You may get a boring UAC (User Account Control) dialog here; just click Continue
• In the left pane, open up the Storage category and click on Disk Management

Here, you will find all your partitions for your hard disks. Right click on the partition you would like to modify.

Click on Extend Volume or Shrink Volume to extend or shrink the selected partition

There have been a lot of complaints and confusion as to why Windows Vista grays out the extend volume and shrink volume properties. If this doesn’t work for you because some options were greyed out, you can follow this other method.

Before continuing, make sure that you backed up all important files and that you are not using diskpart.exe with Dynamic Disks

Start Menu and type diskpart.exe this will open a command-prompt like window. At this window, type list disk. This will list all your available hard disks.

Proceed by typing select disk <disk number> to select the disk you want to work with. To understand which number is associated the volume we want to work with type list volume

Select the desired volume by typing: select volume <number> or select partition <number>

You then have a list of commands you can type in depending on what you want to do with your selected volume:

Shrink desired=20000 minimum=5000 will shrink the volume by 20GB. If that’s not possible, this command makes sure that you at least shrink the volume by 5GB

Extend size=10000 will extend partition by 10GB

You can change values as you want but remember that the greatest amount possible when shrinking is your partition's free space available and the unpartitioned/unused disk space when trying to extend a partition.

You can obtain more information about DiskPart at this page. XP users may use the method number 2 downloading diskpart from here.
