I now use IBM Access connections, but I used to use NetSwitcher and was very happy with it.

I had problems with IBM Access Connections when I first got my X31, I have been using Mobile Net Switch. Works greta and the tech support was excellent, helped me through som eoddities in configuration.

I just use Windows' built it wlan management ('Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings'). Works like a charm, 100% automagically. As long as all the networks you're connecting to have DHCP (all should these days), IBM Access Connections is not needed at all.

Hi,

I use the IBM Access Connections Software.
The first releases of the software had some bugs, but now it works quite well. Switching between different wired and wireless networks once the different profiles have been created.
Works with encrypted networks for me (WPA with a linksys router).

Best regards,

Jens
