When NetProfileSwitch activates an SMTP setting, it adds a record to your hosts file.
Please check that there's a record in your hosts file after activating a profile (the file is here - C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc )

the file is "hosts" (without any extension)
please open this file in any text editor and see if theres a "NetprofileswitchSMTP" record.

Hi,

this is everything.

# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

Hello,

i found the problem.
I'm running windows vista enterprise with netprofileswitch 5.41.
When i activate a profile it does almost everything but not changing in the map C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc ---> hosts the ip of NetProfileSwitchSMTP.
So it was on me to find out.
A few days ago, i installed Spybot, just to be sure there is nothing on my pc. I think after installing this program it puts the file hosts on read only (alleen lezen).
After taking of the read only, Netprofileswitch works again. Thanks for the support.
