Cut Internet Connection

[Skrip]

(full thread here: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=19152 )

How do you cut the internet connection fully, like shutdown everything connected to the internet?

Please help soon! :">

That depends... Version of windows, network connection, etc.

Run("ipconfig.exe /release") ;might work on Windows 2000 and XP....

Ideally, you would want to disable the network adatper; or if you are on dialup, there are other posts that talk about disconnecting.

HttpSetProxy(2, "111.11.111.11:1111")

ok i think that line will disable internet explorer use....basically wat that line does is set a "proxy" for internet explorer...u can do that manually if u open up IE, click "tools", click "internet options", go to "connections" tab, clcik "LAN Settings"....this basically sets a new proxy. the reason y this qill disable IE use is that the proxy i provided there is PROBABLY a "dead" proxy...u may set another set of random numbers instead of all the "111"s i put...if u want to know more bout proxies and wat they r, then just ask me.....im not 100% sure but i think that WILL disable internet use with IE....

What if you have a PCI wireless card?

Can you stop the workstation service and the Remote Access connection service. That may work

[ChrisL]

Maybe netsh command could help, you could set an IP address that wont work

Simple Way to switch of internet is this

CODE

#include <Process.au3>

_RunDOS("ipconfig /release")

at least if you have a dchp address it works great

device manager, disable the card. That will stop it cold. It shouldn't be hard to script.

Indeed but maybe there is a direct way to do this. Some dll might be able to list all network cards and disable it.

I actually noticed some interesting WMI stuff relating to changing the power state of devices, so I'm putting together an example to turn off a NIC for you.

On the "quote" thing, you can just click the "Reply" button at the bottom-right of any individual post. That always seems to quote for me, so I'm not sure what difference the "Quote" button makes.

*EDIT* LOL I just remembered what the Quote button is for. You can click the Quote button on multiple posts, then click Reply and all the posts you chose to quote will be quoted in the reply.

The following sets all network cards to a static address (which should in turn cut the internet connection):

$oPc = "."
$oWmi = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & $oPc & "\root\cimv2")
$oCol = $oWmi.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration where IPEnabled=TRUE")

Dim $oIp[1] = ["1.1.1.1"]
Dim $oSub[1] = ["255.255.255.0"]
Dim $oGate[1] = ["1.1.1.1"]
Dim $oMetric[1] = [1]

For $objNet in $oCol
    $objNet.EnableStatic($oIp, $oSub)
    $objNet.Setgateways($oGate, $oMetric)
Next

The next resets all network cards back to DHCP Enabled:

$oPc = "."
$oWmi = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & $oPc & "\root\cimv2")
$oCol = $oWmi.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration where IPEnabled=TRUE")

For $objNet in $oCol
    $objNet.EnableDHCP()
Next

I haven't tested the two above snippets of code thoroughly but they do work.

Both of these examples were translated from vb scripts found on msdn.microsoft.com under the WMI reference area. You will need the latest beta to use these.

If you're only concerned about Windows XP, you could use the command line device manager utility DEVCON.EXE to disable ALL Network Adapters. Use:

DEVCON DISABLE =NET

to disable all network adapters, and

DEVCON ENABLE =NET

to enable them. Use Devcon /? to get a list of it's basic commands, and Devcon help command to get detailed help on each command.
