Disconnecting From internet Via Program

[casemodder]

Hi Guys,

I think this fits into this forum :o

Anyway, i have a nice new ATI remote wonder (bought from Nova Pc Power) and you can assign buttons functions, and my sister is always bugging me to disconnect form the interweb when i am watching TV/eating/etc in the other room, and since this remote is RF i can use it through walls so i want to assign a button to dis connect me from the interweb.

I was thinking i could execute a batch file to disconnect me ... or i could run a progam to disconnect me.

I don't know a hell of alot of programing, and i came into the computer scene after dos, so i don't have much experience in dos. If someone is kind enough to make me a proggie to do this that would be awesome, or if anyone knows of any floating arround out there in the net that would also be good.

PLEASE NOTE, i don't want surgestions like "use windows autodisconnect, it disconnects you after x time" i know about windows functions like that, i just want help making/links point me to a program / batch file that does what i asked.

Thanks guys.

Well thanks Mird-OC for getting that sored nice and quick it is as simple of going into teh command prompt and typing "rasdial /disconnect"

You may have solved the problem :).. but what Spoon suggested is really a top notch utility for anyone with a remote.
I've got one button to connect, but I don't think I have a d/c one :/
Oh, I read somewhere on the girder forums that there was a plugin for a 'shift key', essentially doubling the number of button you can press.

Yeah, I've used it but too much hassle. Just double the number of remotes ;). One for mp3s, one for video, one for numlock light.

Umm, *cough* how would I get my modem to disconnect at x:xx time?

Is there some magic feature in Xp that I have not been informed of, or is there a useful program?

Sorry if this is not completly the same asquestions asked before, but if I posted it, it would have the same heading :rolleyes:

set up a task in task scheduler to run rasdial /disconnect at the time you choose.

/edit - a bit more info

Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Scheduled Tasks

Add Task, Browse to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (or where ever) and select RASDIAL.EXE, follow the rest of the prompts and make sure you choose to open Advanced Properties when you finish.

Add /disconnect at the end of the "Run" command, click OK, and you're set.

peesapiss ;)

another option is a number of the popular "Download Manager" apps have a disconnect at time xx:xx option too.

Thanks. After stuffing with the rasdial thing I got it working :)
