A good solution to switch between different network settings?

"I use my laptop (Windows Vista Ultimate) to connect to a wireless network in college, which assigns a dynamic IP address, and at home, with a static IP address and DNS server.
I'm looking for a good solution/software to switch between college/home settings without changing them manually.
I've found an open-source application called Network Switcher, but the official site says that its development has been discontinued."

"Here are two programs to switch between pre-configured network settings:

IP Organizer 2

The website is in Turkish. Here's the download link.

IP Organizer is freeware.

NetSetMan

NetSetMan is free for personal use."

"I don't know if this helps but I've found this.

It's for Vista, I don't know which OS you are using since you didn't mentioned it. I'd assume Windows 7 to have a similar feature."

Mobile Net Switch is a good way to get started; you want to figure out what features you really need. Certain tools offer so many features, it becomes confusing. This tool is a good starting point (freeware, minor splash screen).
