In your case, the most effective way would be to pull the plug!

Hmmm... What OS? If this is Win2K/XP/2003, you could disable the adapter. I'm sure it could be done with a DLL call, but I don't know which DLL or function. Search the MSDN. Otherwise, you could bring up the network connections control panel, right-click the appropriate one, and hit disable.

my problem is how to auto stop and auto start LAN at sometime ...

I am sure doing "IPConfig /release" would do it. When you want it back run "IPConfig /renew"

Good call!

Man, I can't believe my mind went in such a complicated direction over this!

I believe that

netsh interface set interface "Local Area Connection" disable

would do it, else try admin = disable at the end

I think that only works for WAN connections, not LAN conections.

I've looked into this before, and I've never been able to find a way to enable and disable NICs programatically.

Here you go:

This method uses COM so it needs latest beta to work.

expandcollapse popup

AutoItSetOption("MustDeclareVars", 1)

Dim $sEnableVerb = "En&able" 
Dim $sDisableVerb = "Disa&ble" 

; Usage example
_ToggleConnection("Local Area Connection", $sDisableVerb)

Func _ToggleConnection($sConnectionName, $sVerb)
    Local $oShell
    Local $oControlPanel
    Local $oFolderItem
    Local $oNetConnections
    Local $oConnectionItem
    Local $oLanConnection
    Local $oVerbItem
    Local $oVerb
    
    $oShell = ObjCreate("Shell.Application") 
    $oControlPanel = $oShell.Namespace(3)
    For $oFolderItem In $oControlPanel.Items 
    ; ConsoleWrite($oFolderItem.Name & @LF)
    ; Look up network connection folder name in control panel
        If $oFolderItem.Name = "Network Connections" Then 
            $oNetConnections = $oFolderItem.GetFolder
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    Next     
    If Not IsObj($oNetConnections) Then Return 0
    For $oConnectionItem In $oNetConnections.Items 
    ; ConsoleWrite($oConnectionItem.Name & @LF)
        If $oConnectionItem.Name  = $sConnectionName Then 
            $oLanConnection = $oConnectionItem
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    Next
    If Not IsObj($oLanConnection) Then Return 0
    For $oVerbItem In $oLanConnection.Verbs 
    ; ConsoleWrite($oVerbItem.Name & @LF)
        If $oVerbItem.Name = $sVerb Then 
            $oVerb = $oVerbItem
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    Next
    If Not IsObj($oVerb) Then Return 0
    $oVerb.DoIt()
; Needs delay to allow action to complete
    Sleep(1000)
    
    Return 1
EndFunc
