Change location automatically based on network
An example of usefulness of such a script :
Change location automatically based on network
As i understand it, the 'Automatic' location is just the default location where settings are to get an ip address from the server automatically (ie DHCP) for all of the different network types (Airport, ethernet, firewire etc). So whenever you connect to a network which wants you to use a specific IP address, you need to modify the network prefs to do it: For ages, my 'automatic' location had been changed to use a manual IP address, so it wasnt really automatic any more... I have renamed it 'Home' and created a new location 'Away' which has all the automatic settings. I dont think the 'Automatic' location name itself has any real relevance.
Change location automatically based on network
The Apple documentation states regarding the Automatic Network Preference:
This (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106800) is the help I found on the Apple support site. It seems to apply to 10.2, but from what I can see a "Port Configuration" is the same as a new "Network Location". In this help article Apple recommends duplicating a Port Configuration and customizing it for each location. Then Automatic will be able to pick one of multiple configurations, i.e., scan through the defined Network Locations until it finds one that works or give up if it doesn't. |
