Starting Stopping network connections

[spitlizard]

Right, normally if I can't do something I google it but this one I just can't find.
Does anyone know how to start/stop network connections via a command line.
I have tried netsh and devcon but I just can't seem to get them to work from the sites I have visited.

why are you trying command line commands? is it that hard to go to network and do it from the GUI. bonus nerd points for doing it from the command line, but unless you can only boot into DOS there are easier ways of doing it.

I don't think ipconfig is not going to get my desired results.

For the record, I want to write either a batch file or J script so I need to know the commands.

If I wanted to do it via the GUI I would have already!!

ok

are they DHCP connections. If so ipconfig release will do stop the adapter. you need to define the adapter if you only want to shut down one.

ipconfig renew will stop then restart the adapter. etc


if you are using static ip addresses Devcon (which is the device mgr).

careful with this beastie, you can do stuff u may not want to do.

-ipcongfig /release - releases ip address and therefore ends network connection

-ipconfig /renew - Obtain an IP address.
