Another utility for easily changing network and proxy configuration by
creating profiles. "This program automatically sets IP, Subnet,
Gateway and DNS for my LAN card and also changes the IE Proxy setting."

Nice screenshot and very simple directions.

Not only is code included, the article specifically discusses
techniques and implementation. Written using Windows Management
Instrumentation (WMI) to obtain LAN card information and C#.

Requires .net and is oriented toward IE. Includes code so adding
Mozilla is possible.

Freeware?

Note, I have not downloaded or tested.

Note, visiting his portal takes a moment but is slightly interesting.
It simulates Win2k even to using Shut Down to exit.

Site Excerpt

A handy utility for laptop users which stores network and proxy
configuration as profiles and apply a profile very quickly whenever
laptop goes to a different network

Introduction
This is a tiny utility which stores multiple network and proxy
configuration as profiles. You can apply a profile to set specific
network setting and proxy from simple shortcuts.

Background
If you have a laptop, when you go to different places, you have to
change Network configuration and browser proxy. I have to go to 4
different places everyday with my laptop; my university, my offices and
my home. Everywhere I have to change my IP setting and IE Proxy.... I
have made a handy utility which I can use to ... [apply profiles] very
quickly just by pressing one key and a ENTER at system startup. This
program automatically sets IP, Subnet, Gateway and DNS for my LAN card
and also changes the IE Proxy setting.
[Proceeds to discuss implementation code.]
