Enable or Disable Network Connections


Question:

I want to be able to enable or disable a network connection using WinBatch. That is, I want a "program equivalent" of right-clicking "My Network Places", choosing Properties, right-clicking "Local Area Connection", and clicking Enable (or Disable, as the case may be). The point is to be able to connect or disconnect a PC from the network. Can't find the function to do this ...

Answer:

You can use devcon.exe utility. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=311272

Thanks, Marty. The command "devcon disable =net" (and "devcon enable =net") do the trick!
