I need to disconnect my Internet connection on a given time (to avoid exceeding my Internet usage time limit), without shutting down the computer.
How can I do that?
In MS Windows (any version), you would schedule a task to run a command to release the IP using the task scheduler.
ipconfig
with netsh interface set interface name="Local Area Connection" admin=disabled
?
This utility from thinkbroadband will not disconnect your internet but it can be set to activate an alert/alarm to tell you that you are close to your limit
Monitor the Internet usage of your computer in real time- see data being sent and received See daily, monthly and weekly statistics on how much you use and when Set alarms to protect yourself from exceeding your monthly usage allowance, or a fair use limit Pre-defined alarm profiles available to download Use the stopwatch to record how fast your downloads are Run a ping stream to graph how your latency varies Background tests to measure your broadband performance Graph your usage from multiple household computers Analyse performance by protocol (e.g. VoIP, p2p, etc.)
ipconfig /release *
or similar? i'm not getting the question 100%
