Logon script to terminate internet connection 1

[seaport]

I have a windows xp (sp2) PC and need to have a logon script that terminate network connection as well as internet connection when certain users log on. In other words, when those users log on, the PC will work like a stand alone computer.

Any advices on how to write the script? I know DOS and vbscript a little bit. But I do not know the exact command to do that.

Thanks in advance.

Linney,

It takes a while for me to get back on this project. Thanks for the links. I tested the registry approach and found out that it only disabled connection for IE, not Firefox, which most of my users used.

The netsh command seems promising. I googled it and found out the following MS KB article.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/262265/en-us

In the article, it gives a netsh command to stop traffic to the network adapter.

netsh interface ip set address interface_name static ip_addresssubnet_maskdefault_gatewaymetric

what is "interface_name"? Could you give me a real example for that command?

I don't really know, someone must though, best I can come up with is a few links. What does this show you from a Command prompt?

netsh interface ipv4 show interface




Netsh interface name

See if you can follow the story here. I always run in to Vista XP Syntax problems. Follow my mistakes and learn from them. Mind you I have no idea if this is even relevant to your original question. This by the way was run on a Virtual XP machine from within Vista.

Linney,

I am not a system admin person and this task is way over my head. I think I have to put it on hold right now.

Thanks for all your efforts.
