Hi Marie.
If your using XP or Vista, you can go in to the control panel and network
connections. Find the connection either lan or wireless lan that carries your
internet connection, right click or press the applications key then select
disable from the menu that pops up. Once you've done whatever it is you need
to do, simply reenable the connection and your internet connection will
reestablish itself.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Subject: [access-uk] How do I disconnect from the internettemporarily
Yes, I know that sounds stupid doesn't it? but I'm sure most of you won't
think it is once I've explained.
Once I've downloaded Nod32 4, I want to disconnect from the internet before I
uninstall version 3 and install version 4.
I have a master switch commanding power on and off for my entire set up and
the cables have been neatly and very tightly tied up by an electrician so that
it's extremely difficult to follow one from its socket to its origin and the
same goes for the USB cables. On my router there is a cable going to the
telephone and one to the computer but I can't feel precisely which is which,
so, I can't easily physically disconnect my system from the Internet.
I've looked in Control Panel but can't find anything there.
I haven't got anything about my router as software because, as the system
works very well without it, I didn't see the point until now, perhaps to load
my PC with junk from my ISP I will never use.
Anyone knows of a soft, temporary way to disconnect from the internet? If
Internet explorer, Messenger and my email client are not open, does it mean
nothing can come in? I only want the system to be disconnected while I
uninstall and re-install Nod 32, what risk do I run on a scale of 1 to 10 to
catch something nasty while doing this if I stay connected?
Any thoughts/comments very much appreciated.
Thank you all in advance.
Cheers now,
Marie
