Can I enable/disable a network connection from the command-line or MS-Dos?

Question

I want to enable/disable a network connection from the command-line in Windows 8.

netsh interface set interface “Local Area Connection” DISABLED 

To enable the interface, you'd then run:

netsh interface set interface “Local Area Connection” ENABLED 

When I try this, it generates an error message which states that "no more data is available".

This may be enough for you if you are using DHCP.

Disable:

ipconfig /release *

Enable:

ipconfig /renew
