Nikv Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Hey all, Wouldn't really know where to start with this as I'm not big into coding.. Would it be possible to create a script at startup that disables the ethernet driver, then 10-15 seconds later enables it again? Or even have Windows start up with the ethernet driver disabled, then a script run to enable it? Thanks I found this: http://social.techne...9-6d3edc97e9aa/ SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansionset Adapter=Realtek RTL8168D/8111D Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20) echo. if /i "%1"=="enable" goto go if /i "%1"=="disable" goto go if /i "%1"=="toggle" goto go echo Syntax: Device.bat enable / disable / toggle goto :eof :go set HWID=x set count=0 set found=no set command=%1 devcon.exe hwids "PCI\*" > "%temp%\device.txt" for /F "tokens=*" %%* in ('type "%temp%\device.txt"') do ( set /a count=!count! + 1 if /i "%%*"=="Name: %Adapter%" set found=yes& set count=1 if !found!==yes if !count!==3 set HWID=%%* ) if %found%==no echo Device "%Adapter%" not found. & goto exit echo HWID=!HWID! if /i %command%==toggle ( devcon.exe status "!HWID!" | find /i "disabled" > nul if ErrorLevel 1 (set command=disable) else (set command=enable) ) devcon.exe %command% "!HWID!" :Exit del "%temp%\device.txt" endlocal Unsure where to find the right version of devcon for Windows 7 though.. Just realised I need to download Windows Driver Kit (WDK) 7.1.0 althought is a couple hundred meg.. I was hoping to send this script out to several people and would be a pain having to install this on each machine to get a script to work.. Any other work arounds?

0 +BudMan MVC Posted October 19, 2012 MVC Share Posted October 19, 2012 Why don't you just download the WDK, extract the devcon for 32 and 64 and include that in what your sending out to the users? I have them if you need them as well - I could attach them to the thread if you need them and can not download the large file yourself. Curious -- why do you want to do such a thing? What is the point of enabling it 15 seconds after start? edit: attached the devcons I have - window7 64 and 32, and then one I use for xp are included devcon.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey all,
Wouldn't really know where to start with this as I'm not big into coding..
Would it be possible to create a script at startup that disables the ethernet driver, then 10-15 seconds later enables it again?
Or even have Windows start up with the ethernet driver disabled, then a script run to enable it?
Thanks
