How do you unnetwork 2 computers?

Laurie,

Start by unplugging the network cables?

Then maybe go into Network Connections and delete the Local Area Connection.

Finally, physically remove the network card from one or both.

And Laurie, please don't contribute to the spread and success of email address
mining viruses. Posting your email address openly will get you more unwanted
email, than wanted email. Learn to munge your email address properly, to keep
yourself a bit safer when posting to open forums. Protect yourself and the rest
of the internet - read this article.

Laurie,

That will certainly do it.

Then maybe go into Network Connections and delete the Local Area Connection.

It isn't possible to delete the Local Area Connection by going to
Network Connections. Instead, right-click and disable the connection.

Finally, physically remove the network card from one or both.

I see no reason to physically remove the network card. If you do, be
sure to uninstall it in Device Manager first.

Steve,

It was kind of a vague question. I was throwing out ideas.

The most secure system is one in a locked room, with no network card. Turned
off.

Remember the legendary Microsoft security certification, where they got a
military security certification for Windows, after removing the network cable.

Laurie,

If ljennd4 [AT] hotmail [DOT] com is NOT your email address, then you are being
very impolite. Putting an address that's not yours is not correct, the only
polite domains to use are example.com, example.org, etc.
