is there a command that i can put into a batch file that will turn off and on
my lan port ??

i have a work desktop that runs a dialup program at 2am and sometimes via
the lan, it will get patches and reboot and thus turn off the program i need
to run at 2am. i have no problem with the desktop getting the patches during
the day.

any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi
Putting the line "ipconfig /release: (with no quotation mark) will release
the Network connection.
A bat fie with ipconfig /renew will reconnect.
