Using ConfigFree™ with your Toshiba Computer

ConfigFree Utilities

If you visit a client company occasionally, for example, you can set up a profile to match that environment and connect to the network. Similarly, users who access networks in the office and at home can set up profiles to handle these networking environments.

A profile contains the currently configured network settings on the computer, as well as information about any network devices. The following settings can be saved (or “captured”) in a profile:

Internet settings — includes LAN settings (proxy server settings) and the address of a home page that opens automatically when Internet Explorer starts.

Devices — lets you enable or disable settings of wired and wireless network devices, infrared devices, and set the power status of Bluetooth® antennas.

TCP/IP settings — includes DHCP, IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server, and WINS server settings.

Personal firewall settings for Internet connections.

Dial-up connection settings for the default connection.

File and printer sharing settings.

Printer settings for the default printer.

Bluetooth® Security Level (for example, high or medium).

To create a profile:

1Click the icon in the system tray.

2Move the pointer to Profile.

3Click Add. The Add Profile screen appears.
