What operating system? Why not just set up your network to use DHCP?

1) Not tested, but might work: Make two batch-files using any text-editor,
such as Notepad. Put "ipconfig /release" into one, and save it on your
desktop as "release.cmd". Put "ipconfig /renew" into the other, and save on
your desktop as "renew.cmd". Use release to disconnect, renew to reconnect.
All assuming you are using DHCP, of course. Also assuming you are using
Windows
2) I am no expert on firewall software, but are there any alternatives that
let you have different profile settings? If so, you could make two profiles:
One for normal use, and one set to block all traffic in and out. Then
activate one profile or the other, depending on wether or not you want to be
online.
3) Crude, but effective: If you're hooked to a switch, router, hub or any
networking device requiring power, connect an extension cord with a flip
switch to its power supply. Then disconnect and reconnect with a flick of
the switch.

Am looking for a utility that will let me disconnect from network
without having to reconfigure the LAN card. Am currently going
through system/ hardware/disconnect but I have to reenter the
configuration every time I restore connection.
Ideally, it would be on the desktop. Click it and the network would be
dead. Click again and network would be restored.
Any suggestions?

unplug the network cable. I never experienced any harm doing this on
my laptop. Of course there should be no open connections at that time.
Software for windows (2000, XP, 2003) already included:
Save current configuration:
netsh -c interface dump > settings1.txt
Reconfigure your network
Save the new configuration:
netsh -c interface dump > settings2.txt
Load the configuration as wanted:
netsh -f settings1.txt
(or)
netsh -f settings2.txt

Thanks all.
I'm using wifi and have no cat5 to disconnect.
I used the ipconfig suggestion and that works great. I didn't create a
bat/cm file but went to the script interface directly. This will work
for me.
Again, thanks all.
