WiNc 2.1

4.0 out of 5 stars

(December 8, 2004)

Windows 2000/XP / Shareware; $19.95 / 676 downloads

Winc allows users of mobile and desktop PCs to not only easily find and connect to 802.11- based wireless networks, but also to manage customized wireless connections in a more efficient way, enjoy improved performance, find support for a wider range of wireless network adapters and more quickly get working with their wireless network of choice.

Winc automatically detects and connects to WiFi networks and stores personalized profiles so that users can automatically connect to their favorite networks without having to reconfigure their settings each time. Winc also allows users to instantly set up ad hoc networks anywhere anytime to share resources (such as a high-speed connection to the Internet) and data within a workgroup - without requiring a wireless access point. It is also the "client software" required for implementation of Cirond's innovative AirPatrol Enterprise network management and security solution.

    Reviewing 2.1 (Apr 27, 2005)

    It's a good program and I think that it could go vary far for wireless computer users in the future.
