Disconnecting network connection and reconnecting

[stewmath]

Hi guys

I have a USB 3G dongle from Orange which is like a dialup connection, rather than a wireless connection.

Is there anyway in vb.net to control this connection? So disconnect is and recconnect it etc?

The reason for this is automatically getting a new ip address without manually disconnecting in network connections.

You can run ipconfig /release to release the current ip and then run ipconfig /renew to renew the ip address. However, you may still get the same ip address each time.

i tried it but i require elevation, i forgot about that. Im using windows vista.

How can i run a shell as administrator?

Look at the command "runas".

don't you log in windows as administrator ?
also you could run a macro
