NetworkTools is a tool created for IT teams that need an easy way to switch network card mode between DHCP and static and store IP addresses, MAC addresses, and host names in a Google Sheets file.
NetworkTools uses a simple GUI that allows the user to easily switch the network card mode between DHCP and static. The tool automatically scans the network for available IP addresses.
After configuring the network interface, NetworkTools automatically adds the IP address, MAC address, and host name to the Google Sheets file.
The NetworkTools server runs in the background and allows clients to connect to it using a socket connection. The server processes client requests and saves IP addresses, MAC addresses, and host names to the Google Sheets file.
To use the NetworkTools tool, you need a Windows operating system and Python version 3.6 or higher.
