Crack open a cmd.exe window and do the following:

netsh interface set interface "Name of Interface" ENABLE

OR

netsh interface set interface "Name of Interface" DISABLE

  • it says "An interface with this name is not registered with the router"?

    maruti: you must replace "Name of Interface" with the actual interface name as displayed under Network Connections. This is usually "Local Area Connection" for the first interface, "Local Area Connection 2" for the second and "Wireless Network Connection" for WLAN. Jan 22, 2010 at 11:57
