creating a batch file to disable and enable a device?

Hi,

I've got a belkin card that continually needs to be disabled and re-enabled.
Can anyone point me to a batch file i could look at which would do roughly
the same thing? Or the commands that need to be added.

Cheers
Gavin

Hi

The most common way to disconnect the Internet is to release the TCP/IP
stack using the ipconfig command.

Use Notepad (or ant other text editor to create two batch files.

IpReleas.bat should contain one line: ipconfig /release_all

IpRenew.bat should contain one line: ipconfig /renew_all

Drag a short cut from each file to a place of your choice (like the
Desktop).

Now you can disengage and engage by simple Double clicking.

To add to Jack's reply,

If it's a Laptop you can use FN+F2 to disable, then use it again to
re-enable.

Hope this helps,

To add to Louis's reply,
The keypress to enable / disable wireless varies from one brand of laptop to
another. Yours may or may not use the combo mentioned.
