Quick Start

Launching NetIP​

First, start NetIP. You can call it from:

  • Desktop Shortcut (if you created one during install)
  • Windows Start Menu
  • NetIP.exe if you installed the portable version

First launch​

If this is your very first launch of NetIP, you will be greeted by the Welcome Popup:

NetIP Welcome Popup

Demo Tour​

First time users

If this is your first time using NetIP, as the popup suggests it is highly recommended to do the demo tour to understand how it works.

If required, the Demo Tour is always available from the NetIP Main Window > About Page > Start the demo tour.

Normal launch​

If this is not the first time you launch NetIP, it is running in the background as normal. The same goes if you enable Start with Windows in the settings.

Using NetIP​

Taskbar Icon​

The NetIP icon is located in your Windows taskbar.
