Solved How can I toggle my internet connection?

[zarfs]

I'm using Windows 7 in my home office. No network. I connect to the internet through a router and ethernet. I want to manually control Windows 7's access to the internet. I want to disconnect the internet when I'm not actually using it. Is there a simple way to toggle my connection on and off?

Yep, just disable the NIC.

Dear AddRAM: Many thanks.

AddRAM, my Windows 7 has Local Area Connection and Wireless Network, would the thread starter have to disable both devices in order to completely disengage from The 'Net?

Of course. But he mentions nothing about wireless.
