How do I disable NICs via scripting?

[Theo Welles]

Hi All

I need to disable/enable the NICs on a Win2k box using a script....

Can I do that? What command should I use?

Thanks a lot!

Theo

Hi Theo,

Not exaclty what you want, but this may help:

If you want to disable the interface to prevent traffic from being passed
by the network adapter, you can use the Netshell tool to set a different IP
address (such as a private IP address) or default gateway (which in effect,
disables the network adapter). The following example shows the syntax for
this configuration:



netshell interface ip set address interface_name static ip_address
subnet_mask default_gateway metric
