I have a LAN connection called let's say UPC (automatic IP and DNS) that I
want sometimes to disable (for a certain period).

Instead of using Ctrl Panel/... I would like to do this with a command
script file (.cmd) file placed on my desktop.

Probably is something with netsh, but this is just a guess.


Thanx,
Crios

You can disable your network adapter with this command:

devcon disable {NameOfNetworkAdapter}

To find the name of your network adapter, type these commands:

devcon hwids "*" > c:\devcon.txt
notepad c:\devcon.txt

You can download devcon.exe from here:
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...240/devcon.exe

Are you adamant about using a script file, or do you just want a desktop
shortcut?
If you choose Create Shortcut from your Local Area Connection's context
menu, right-clicking the new Desktop shortcut allows you to Enable/Disable.
