IP Organizer is a Free Way to Manage Multiple Static IP Settings

I can't read, write, or speak Turkish, but that didn't stop me from downloading BD IP Organizer. If you provide service for customers that need an easy way to switch IP settings, don't let it stop you, either.

NetSetMan - which I reviewed recently - may be English and sport a larger feature set, but it's not free for anyone but home users. I highly doubt that anyone that really, really needs this kind of application is not using it in at least one business environment.

What I was actually searching for was a free app that could be used commercially, and I found it. If you don't need NetSetMan's other features (like automatic drive and printer mapping or machine name changing), then IP Organizer is the way to go.


It lets you set profiles up for specific adapters and switch between them with a simple right-click on its system tray icon. An Englsh language file is included (a simple text doc that can be modified if you want to correct misspellings like "optain"), and you'll be able to select it during the initial launch.

Yes, it's a great tool for someone that takes a laptop from a static work environment to a DHCP home setting, but I've got my own reasons for loving IP Organizer.

Why do I think it's so great? If you're a tech and you spend any time programming access points, print servers, NAS devices, or other devices that ship with pre-configured IP addresses, you probably do your fair share of manual IP configuring and crossover cable use. Set up profiles for different vendors' default IPs, and save yourself some headaches.

There doesn't seem to be a limit to the number of connections you can create (and I set up a truckload), so it's also useful for the tech that needs multiple static IP settings for on-site work with client systems.

This one is a winner, regardless of the language impediment. It's freeware, Windows only. The download link is "Programi Yukle," or you can grab it from Softpedia.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

CiviballsI have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
