You don't want much do you? (and you don't even give a version of Windoof).
Unix copied all core commands and concepts from Windoof - but to avoid lawsuits Unix did it before Windoof (tracert, ping, ipconfig, copy etc). There is a GUI tool in XP and NT but I can't remember the name (winipcfg?) - best to ask on another forum. You could assign gateways by class from the DHCP server - but I'm guessing you want to change things within existing leases. For Deb just create 2 menu entries - call them CheapNet & QuickNet Set them to run as root Make Cheapnet run:- ipconfig del default; route add default gw slowgatewayip And the other (QuickNet) run:- ipconfig del default; route add default gw quickgatewayip You can probably do a similar thing at the Windoof machines using netsh on XP or earlier (again, it's outside the scope of this list).
