LocationChanger automatically reconfigures many programs and resources according to IP address, wireless network ID, or gateway MAC address. Currently locationchanger is capable of automatically modifying the following:
- NFS automounts
- Privoxy settings
- host file settings
- default printer
- Mail server and account
- iChat status and services
- Location setting in Network Preferences
- proxy status
Additionally, if growl is found, it notifies you of the new IP address, location name, and the hardware device of
the new connection.
