scripting network components options

[Jack Ryan]

Hi there, I have searched high and low for answers to this simple problem
but so far come up blank. Is there a way to select /deselect networking
component items that you can see when you right-click your Local Area
Connection > Properties using a script?

I need to disable the security policy of my VPN client whose policy stops
*all* incoming connections to my PC including "ping" if I am not on the
corporate network subnet, like at home or on a customer site. To disable it
completely, I have to deselect the virtual VPN networking component on the
Local Area Network Connection Properties.

I have a script that stops/starts the VPN application and stops/starts the
corresponding service but the final step is to uncheck the VPN virtual
adaptor in the Local Area connection which I currently have to do manually.

So, again, is there a scriptable way to check/uncheck networking components
on the Local Area Connection > Properites > General tab?

Thanks in advance - help me save what hair I have left!
