A program that disconnects you from the internet.

cause then we become liable an start getting more of these kinds of question.  Admin gets fined and banned an such of that.  Also, its just me personally for the time as well.

well, just take it easy and I think it won't be like that. I don't think anybody wants things to go south like that.

No, and I don't see how disconnecting a dialup connection is harmful.

ipconfig /release in a batch file.

Thank you BC thats all i need to know, everyone is making this into a big argument.

[2x3i5x]

were just giving ideas which are all fine, if you wanted to use it but all the other guys were just flaming on it for no apparent reason.

read the topic of it a few times, what is the purpose of a hacker to gain control an cause as much trouble for the user.  I was thinking this more on the line of a keylogger and such.

A person can't maintain control of another's computer if it's disconnected from the Internet.  Trouble?  That's possible, I suppose...it didn't seem likely in this case.

ipconfig /release in a batch file.

I don't think that would be as clean as using rasdial (command line).  I doubt it would drop the line.

For dialup connections, the command would be as follows:

rasdial connection_name /disconnect

Do rasdial /? for more options.

[Aegis]

Just to clarify, Rob -- are you recommending the rasdial in place of the ipconfig command?  Should the batch file contain both?

[shrshr429]

I tried the ipconfig /release it worked on my connection, but i have a modem not dialup, should i replace ipconfig /release with rasdial connection_name /disconnect?

[BC_Programmer]

I don't know- are you using a modem to connect to the internet (IE, is a telephone cable going into your PC?) If so then rasdial would probably work better. IF you have a modem hooked to the phone line that connects to your network card then ipconfig should work fine.

[shrshr429]

I am hooked to a modem and the telephone cable is going to the modem so ipconfig works fine for me, my grandma uses the phone line directly to her computer, so im guessing she'd use resdial

[Rob Pomeroy]

Correct.
