Disabling ethernet connection with command line? [closed]

Answer 1

In Windows 7, you can use

wmic path win32_networkadapter where NetConnectionID="Local Area Connection" call disable
wmic path win32_networkadapter where NetConnectionID="Local Area Connection" call enable

Even in more details ( Start elevated Command Prompt ):

Get NIC list and index number

wmic nic get name, index

Enable NIC with index number (eg: 7)

wmic path win32_networkadapter where index=7 call enable

Disable NIC with index number (eg: 7)

wmic path win32_networkadapter where index=7 call disable

---

Here is the command in Windows XP:

netsh interface set interface name="Local Area Connection" admin=disabled

If the network name is not "Local Area Connection", substitute with the one you're using.
