Something that lets me switch between two ethernets on demand

[Sushubh]

So... As most of you would know that I have two connections at my place right now BSNL and Reliance. Currently I have to change the ethernet cable when Reliance goes down to switch to BSNL. Wanted to know that if there is a switch like device that I can use to make it slightly more convenient. Must be sounding stupid. I am not aiming to merge the two connections. I still want to run one of them at one time. Just need a flip button thing thing that lets me switch without changing the wire at the back of the PC. :

Yes, I am kind of lazy that way.

Buy a switch and keep it on the desk?

I used to have a switch long time ago... I do not even remember what it is supposed to do

Is this what I am looking for?

I just realized that switching to BSNL is also needed for wireless printing and syncing with the phone. Doing it over the internet is incredibly slow.

How does it work? I would need to attach and remove cables when needed? coz there seems to be no button that I can use to switch between two wan cables

I thin you need this
Black Box ABC Ethernet Switch Box SWL065A | eBay
The listing is of the USED one, but it should be available locally, or if you are a DIY types, you can assemble one on own.

Edit: ebay.com has lots of them.

This should work all right. You need to plug the 2 ethernet cables coming from BSNL + Reliance to it and a 3rd cable that goes from this Switch to you PC.
Then no need to switch your cables just keep your BSNL & Reliance connections on different subnets like Bsnl on 192.168.1.x and Reliance on 192.168.2.x.
Then a simple freeware software or Batch script can be used to switch between 2 different subnets. I use this - http://www.netsetman.com/ for 1 click switching.
Batch Script example -
This changes the IP address and Default Gateway:
netsh int ip set address "local area connection" static 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
This changes DNS:
netsh int ip set dns "local area connection" static 192.168.1.1 primary
If you want no hassle then I guess the above listed manual switch is the way to go.
