I suppose you could make a batch script with: ipconfig /release *Con* but it would depend on what you might have running that might reconnect. ss. |

Do you have something similar? It's better to have a hardware disconnect. Hope this helps some, Shawn |

| | Re: Shortcut to disconnect from internet Just discovered how to do it, For anyone who is interested..... To disconnect a call via a shortcut, create a shortcut with the following in the 'Target' field: C:\WINDOWS\system32\rasdial.exe /disconnect Then you can assign a shortcut key combination in the 'Shortcut Key' field to disconnect via a keystroke if you like. It works! Bob "Bob" <bob.bob@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:7LVCj.10348$jH5.1223@xxxxxx-win.ntli.net...

You never mentioned you were using a dial-up modem, but I suppose now it makes more sense why you'd have wanted to do this in the first place. ss. |

| | Re: Shortcut to disconnect from internet Right Click the network icon on the Tool Tray, and select Disable. If you are trapped in a Dial Up world, your computer should automatically disconnect when you close the browser, or whatever the last resource you are using that requires the Internet. Why do you want to disconnect? "Bob" <bob.bob@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:aESCj.4541$334.2251@xxxxxx-win.ntli.net...
