#309200 - 16/04/2008 21:04 Disabling and enabling NIC adapter via a DOS command?
tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31573 Loc: Seattle, WA	If, on Windows Server 2003, I wanted to disable and re-enable the NIC in a loop with specified delays between each, is there an easy way to do that from the command line? I poked through the NETSH commands and couldn't see anything obvious. It's dead-obvious in Vista and Longhorn, not so much in 2003. _________________________ Tony Fabris
