Quick Start

Option 1 (Easiest):

Simply double-click either:

3. Install required dependencies
4. Launch the application

Option 2 (Manual Setup):

1. Clone or download this repository
2. Create and activate a virtual environment:

python -m venv venv
.\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1  # For PowerShell
# OR
.\venv\Scripts\activate.bat  # For Command Prompt

3. Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run the application (as administrator):

python network_manager.py

Using the Application

1. Select a network adapter from the list
2. The current IP configuration will be displayed
3. To use DHCP:
   • Check the "Use DHCP" checkbox
   • Click "Apply Changes"
4. To set a static IP:
   • Uncheck the "Use DHCP" checkbox
   • Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
   • Click "Apply Changes"
5. Use the "Refresh" button to update the adapter list and information

Note

• Changing network settings requires administrator privileges
• Invalid IP configurations may cause network connectivity issues
