Is there a Utility like IBM Access

[Jamal Mubarik]

Hi All:
I go to several customer sites (like most of you I am an
IT professional with several small customers)that have
different ip addresses and different domains. I need to
log on to these networks at minimum and if there is a way
to join these doamins painlessly I would like that.

It may be hard to switch between doamins but I know it is
not hard to switch your network settings. IBM has a
wonderful utility called IBM Acess and it only works with
their Laptops that lets one swicth between different
profiles with unique network setting easily.

I would appreciate any suggestion and inputs

Thanks

Jamal

Why do you need to log into multiple domains? As long as you have an IP
address for that domain, and can resolve names on it, you should be able to
access resources on it - for example, in a command prompt,

net use x: \\servername\share /user:domain\username

Or if you want see MultiNetworkManager from www.globesoft.com. Me, I
wouldn't bother, as I don't need to join a domain to access resources on it,
and I like to keep things simple.

Thank you. The reason I need this utility is because I am
constantly with different clients. Even ig this can swicth
IP address and DNS it would be a big help.

Thanks

Another option then - NetSwitcher. You still don't need to belong to the
domains. Any reason these clients aren't using DHCP? I hate static
addressing!
