This is my first script made in AutoIt, I hope someone will find it useful.
I put it together after viewing and trying a lot of example scripts made by users of this forum. A big thanks to everyone who's functions I used.

Description:
When you run this script, it will first check current state of Local Area Connection (enabled/disabled), if it's enabled then it will disable it and vice versa.
It will also modify firewall settings (when lan is enabled - firewall is set to off; when lan is disabled - firewall is set to on and no exceptions).
The name of the connection in your Network Connections must be exactly "Local Area Connection" if you want it to work.

Tested on Windows XP Home.

The description, important notes, instructions on how to use this script / application and download links can be found here.

Would like to see the source, if you don't mind sharing.

[playlet]

I updated the source code above - removed some unnecessary lines from the code.

Cheers, Playlet

How about before checking the status is 'enable or disable', the script should also check if the computer has the LAN adapter or not? Because I have a old notebook without LAN adapter.

[playlet]

This could be a little tricky since I don't know what actually happens with the script on a computer that doesn't have a lan adapter.
Try this:

AutoIt        expandcollapse  popup

Dim $aNetworkInfo
$cI_CompName = @ComputerName
Global    $wbemFlagReturnImmediately = 0x10, _
        $wbemFlagForwardOnly = 0x20
_ComputerGetNetworkCards($aNetworkInfo)
$networkcard = $aNetworkInfo[1][0]

If $networkcard <> "" Then
    MsgBox (0, "True", "You have a network card installed: " & @CRLF & @CRLF & $networkcard)
Else
    MsgBox (0, "False", "No network cards !")
EndIf

Func _ComputerGetNetworkCards(ByRef $aNetworkInfo)
    Local $colItems, $objWMIService, $objItem
    Dim $aNetworkInfo[1][34], $i = 1

    $objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & $cI_Compname & "\root\CIMV2")
    $colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapter", "WQL", $wbemFlagReturnImmediately + $wbemFlagForwardOnly)

    If IsObj($colItems) Then
        For $objItem In $colItems
            ReDim $aNetworkInfo[UBound($aNetworkInfo) + 1][34]
            $aNetworkInfo[$i][0]  = $objItem.Name
            $i += 1
        Next
        $aNetworkInfo[0][0] = UBound($aNetworkInfo) - 1
        If $aNetworkInfo[0][0] < 1 Then
            SetError(1, 1, 0)
        EndIf
    Else
        SetError(1, 2, 0)
    EndIf
EndFunc

and tell me what the MessageBox tells you.

"True"

"You have a network card installed:

Actually it is not LAN adapter, this is a modem adapter.

OK, I've changed this function to look for specific words like "lan" or "ethernet". I think it should work now. If all goes well, I'll add it to the script.
Here's the code:

AutoIt        expandcollapse  popup

Dim $aNetworkInfo
$cI_CompName = @ComputerName
Global    $wbemFlagReturnImmediately = 0x10, _
        $wbemFlagForwardOnly = 0x20
$lan = 0
_ComputerGetNetworkCards($aNetworkInfo)
$networkcard = $aNetworkInfo[0][0]

For $i = 1 to $aNetworkInfo[0][0]
    $networkcard = $aNetworkInfo[$i][0]
    If StringInStr ($networkcard, "LAN") Or StringInStr ($networkcard, "Ethernet") Then
        $lan = 1
        MsgBox (0, "", $networkcard)
    EndIf
Next

If $lan = 1 Then
    MsgBox (0, "True", "Yes, You have a network card installed !")
ElseIf $lan = 0 Then
    MsgBox (0, "False", "No, No network cards installed !")
EndIf

...I've changed this function to look for specific words like "lan" or "ethernet"....

You could also try filtering the WMI query to look for network devices that have an IP associated with them.

[playlet]

Can you explain more (on an example)? I'm not sure I know what you mean.

[rajeshontheweb]

u might want to include wireless network connection in the StringInStr ...

[FranckGr]

I found 26 NICs on my system (9 with your filter).

OnBoard Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller
Miniport d'ordonnancement de paquets
Miniport d'ordonnancement de paquets
Connexion 1394 Carte réseau 1394
Miniport d'ordonnancement de paquets
Deterministic Network Enhancer Miniport
Deterministic Network Enhancer Miniport
Virtual Machine Network Services Driver
VirtualBox Bridged Networking Driver Miniport

So I modified your code like this :

For $i=1 to $aNetworkInfo[0][0]
If StringInStr($aNetworkInfo[$i][1],'Ethernet')>0 and $aNetworkInfo[$i][19]<>"" and StringInStr($aNetworkInfo[$i][0],"1394")=0 Then
ConsoleWrite($aNetworkInfo[$i][19]&@TAB&$aNetworkInfo[$i][0]&@CR)
$lan = 1
EndIf
Next

Only "Ethernet" Nics, Only visible in "Nework Connections" and not a "1394" adapter.

There is only one NIC left after this filter. The true one.
OnBoard Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller

I like the $aNetworkInfo[$i][19] value !!! Every people asking for a NIC called exactly "Local area connection" in their script should use your function !

Thanks for sharing.

[playlet]

I'm glad you like this script. I will try this modification that you posted and probably add it to the first post.
Actually all the credits for _ComputerGetNetworkCards($aNetworkInfo) should go to JSThePatriot. I think he was the one that made it.

Hi, guys!

I've updated this code a bit. (I haven't added LAN adapter check yet.)

Another update.

v2.2

Hi, everyone!

It's been a while since I last worked on this script so I decided to post another update. Go ahead and try it. (Compile it first.)

Not working in Windows 7 x64. Is it supposed to?

If I run from Scite:

LAN Enable-Disable v2.3.au3 (75) : ==> Variable must be of type "Object".:

If I compile and run it:

Line 72
Error: Variable must be of type "Object".

Thanks for all your work.

I got the same error, then tried compiling it as 64-bit - fixed the problem for me.

I'm glad you figured it out. Now I know it works on other versions of Windows, too.

x64 or x86 -- doesn't matter for me. Still getting error.
