Enable/Disable Network connection at onceHi, in my line of work I have to do a tedious task quite a number of times
every day: enable one network connection and disable the other. What I actually refer to is that on a laptop - where I have one wired and one wireless connections - I have to switch between these two connections to reach a network device I am working on, and from there I may need to reach the wireless network to get something on the Internet. What I do is a manual job: open network connections folder, right click one connection, say "disable", and then double-click the other one. I wonder if someone could help me out; I'm looking for something like a WSH script on my desktop that would run this switching task. These may help.

Thanks for the illustrative answer. I got the point, now it is a question of developing a script to perform the way I need it. Very helpful of you.

tangled up in wmi. I have the same situation at home, and I find loading netsh scripts easily done with a simple batch file: 1) configure your wifi to be active, then run: netsh int ip dump > c:\wifi.netsh 2) configure your lan to be active, then run: netsh int ip dump > c:\lan.netsh then create two batch files (wifi.bat and lan.bat) to load these scripts back in: REM enable wifi netsh < c:\wifi.netsh and I'll leave the rest as a ridiculously simple exercise for the reader ;-) Hope this helps, - Oisin Show quoteHide quote On Apr 29, 12:48 pm, "Dave Patrick" <DSPatr...@nospam.gmail.com> wrote: > These may help. > > http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa390385.aspxhttp://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa390364.aspx > > -- > > Regards, > > Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup. > Microsoft Certified Professional > Microsoft MVP [Windows]http://www.microsoft.com/protect > > > > "Fabio Rosa" wrote: > > Hi, in my line of work I have to do a tedious task quite a number of times > > every day: enable one network connection and disable the other.

Thanks a lot for taking the time. Liked your solution - very elegant. However, in my case I may need to tweak it a bit: while enabling one connection, I must disable the other. I will work on it and post the findings. And I totally agree it is much easier using the netsh.exe rather than WMI - I was still studying a reasonable solution when saw your post. Thanks again.
