    Resolved [RESOLVED] Network Disconnect

    Hey,

    I'm writing a network management program in vb 6 and i was wondering if any one new of a way to reboot the network connections for the computer. i.e. turn off the network on the computer, and then turn it back on.

    Thanks

    Re: Network Disconnect

    How about ipconfig /reset? Shell it.
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.
    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.

    Re: Network Disconnect

    There is no reset switch but there are a couple that you can use to simulate a reset.

    VB Code:
    1. ipconfig /release [connection name] 'releases the ip on the network card.

    2. ipconfig /renew [connection name] 'obtain a new ip for the network card where its set to have DHCP enabled.

    Re: Network Disconnect

    Thanks RobDog - But one quick question - is the connection name the name of the network you are connecting to, or it's ip?

    Re: Network Disconnect

    If you only have one nic card then you dont need to use it as its optional. Its actually the name of the LAN connection for each nic card you have viewable in your network connections.

    Thanks RobDog, that works perfectly, even on a wireless usb adaptor, which is great.
