steven 2013-05-22 14:21:39 Yo all beating by the bush...simpleClick Start, click Run, type %windir%\network diagnostic\xpnetdiag.exe, and then click OK. jw07 2013-03-14 18:07:57 Any idea on how i can disable the local area connection to not communicate with windows 7 and only allow the actual local area conection I.E. the network flug? I have a Pi system that only works in XP mode and im running a windows 7 laptop. Cant get the Pi system to comunicate with my laptop because the local area connection is only reconizing the network adapter and im assuming my internet conection is coming from windows 7.

Meaning, if you use the command in a script it won't work with renamed or in general differently named adapters. For this use you will have to do additional coding as in parsing the adapters names out of the first command and then disable them one by one Nevzat Akkaya 2013-02-19 19:02:55 Using NETSH tool in command line, you can do that.Usage :netsh interface set interface DISABLED or ENABLEDFor example to disable an interface with its default name "Local Area Connection" run:netsh interface set interface "Local Area Connection" DISABLEDTo enable the interface, you'd then run:netsh interface set interface "Local Area Connection" ENABLEDThat's it.
