Disonnecting the Internet

[GDOG34]

Is there a way to disable the internet by having command button that will stop the internet connection temperaly. And when you press the second command button it will open the connection back up. This way you can temperaly stop the internet.

It may depend on how are you connected. If you are connected by DialUp that would be like disconnecting in the same way as you would dissconnect from the DialUp dialog box and if you are connected by DSL I think you can turn off the DSL router if you know how to address the router.

Is there a way just to stop the connection? To disconnect it. For example Wait, is there a way where i can send a command string to the command prompt? Example: ipconfig/release, then when the ip is released it shows a message like: "Internet Disconnected" Then if i send ipconfig/renew it can show a message like "Intenet Connected"

Not with VB6 (at least that I know of)

Perhaps something like C/C++ you might.

Well, there is a way using VB but it is only for DialUp. I haven't as yet figured out how to do it by addressing my DSL router/modem but I seem to remember that there is something there that you can do that will cause the connection to be on/off but even then I'm not 100% positive it is accessable via a VB program. I'm still working on it though.
