Does anyone have any suggestions on how to write a batch file to disconnect

the internet connection? I am using boardband modem.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

You can use devcon.exe

(http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/1/f/11f7dd10-272d-4cd2-896f-9ce67f3e0240/devcon.exe)

to disable or enable your network adapter. You'll have to put a certain

amount of work into automating the process, same as for the other

suggestions you received in your parallel posts.

Thank you very much for suggestions

When I am online, there is a monitor's icon to show online status, when I

disconnect the internet connection, I just right click this icon and select

disconnect, and this is what I want to do to disconnect the boardband

connection.

Can devcon.exe perform this trick by using Excel's macro - VBA to activate

it? which should not involve any IP or modem hardware setting at all?

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Eric

You need to ask an Excel newsgroup whether a VBA script can invoke an .exe

file.
