thanks a lot for your immediate response.

I'm developing a banner advertisement application for an ISP.

The internet connection on the client machine should close as soon as the user closes this banner application. After this, I need to show the re-connect window to the user.

Any suggestions with code examples would be of great help.

Well if they use a router as an internet access point which a lot of people do (including me) you cant shut down the internet connection, only the network connection to the router. Which the user can just enable manually to get internet access.

If this is for an ISP it should be planned, everything should be planned and tested, there should be some kind of feasibilty report detailing methods and requirements for the application. You dont seem to have any thoughts, only the vague app requirements.

I hope your not trying to make what I think your trying to make
