hello

I would like a hotkey to disconnect me from the internet, wait 3 seconds and reconnect, in order to change ip

is it possible?

thanks

This uses the WinKey+r as the hotkey, but of course can be changed...




HTH....

lol got beat to it hehe

Alternatively,;)

ipconfig is a program, rather than a command built into command prompt, so it doesn't require %comspec%. Btw, that quote is a bit outdated... %comspec% typically points to cmd.exe on NT-based systems.

DOS,

Has anyone verified if this actually works for dial-up connections?

Its not working for my dial up.

it doesnt working for my adsl

I thought as much. How do you disconnect/reconnect manually? Does your IP address necessarily change if you do that?

The only (software) way to restart my ADSL router, for instance, is through the web interface. I haven't got the first clue how to automate web pages/javascript.

Edit: For dial-up in Win2k/XP, I think you could use rasdial. Using the examples at that link,

For Win9x, try rnaui.dll (VBScript example).

With my dial-up, the IP address usually changes every disconnect/reconnect.

Code works fine with disconnecting, but using the connecting code, it needs the username and password to be specified.

To connect with username/password:

I manually disconnect by double clicking on the connection tray icon and then click "disconnect" on its tab

then I wait 5 seconds

then I reconnect by clicking the shortcut on the desktop

it changes ip in most cases

how can I do all these with a hotkey?

Have you tried this script?

Why do you need to change IP address?

Perhaps to continue doing some bad job after its IP address has been blocked...

Came with console window but work.
speedy=your connection
user=user
pasword=password

thanks !

but, does this work for ethernet connections?
