Disable Network Card

[John]

Is there anything in the win32 api that allows me to determine if a network
interface is disabled?

Thanks,
John

You could do it with netsh.exe. The first output shows the status while
the network card is enabled, the second when it is disabled.

netsh interface show interface

I researched this some more and found the following web site. I think this
answers my question. Thanks also go out to Pegasus for the response.

Why can't you just remove TCP/IP protocol if you want to disable networking?
