The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

NetSetMan - Disabling and enabling individual Network Interfaces

Asked by Beeshoring in Network Cards & Adapters, Microsoft Development, Microsoft Operating Systems

Hi all
I´ve got an Intel Server Pro 1000 PT Quad Adapter
I´m running VISTA Home Premium 32BIT
Netsetman ver 2.5.2 installed
I need to have the ability to change IP settings on various NICS in order to get internet access through different routes.
NETSET Manager seems the perfect solution especially as a non technical person will be left with the computer...
With NETSET Manager:
I´ve noticed that persistant route is all that seems to change when i toggle between "activating" each interface. It´s almost too good to be true. However the OS seems to "get confused" upon testing. By that I mean the previously accessed gateway will still reply to ICMP even though another adapter is activated..

 The answer (i think) would be to run ,as part of a  script, the ability to simply disable the unneeded interfaces.
If I disable the "unwanted" interfaces manually, the whole thing works perfectly with the packets routing down the only enabled NIC
For that I´ve decided to look at "devcon.exe"
An example of one of my four scripts is seen below. It is indended to enable the one interface and disable the other three..
My problem is that the utility disables ALL four interfaces :-(
Anybody familiar with devcon got any additional scripts or ideas?
Also I cant add 4 seperate NICS as the form factor of the PC is too small. It has to be this quad port NIC
Help appreciated
Thanks in advance


devcon disable =net PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10A4&SUBSYS_10A48086&REV_06\6&1B3E2033&1&00080008
devcon disable =net PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10A4&SUBSYS_10A48086&REV_06\6&1B3E2033&1&01080008
devcon disable =net PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10A4&SUBSYS_10A48086&REV_06\6&B766667&0&00000008
devcon enable =net PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10A4&SUBSYS_10A48086&REV_06\6&B766667&0&01000008
