asked on scripting a disable / enable of a NIC at startup
I have an old dell PC (vostro 200) that had been running xp but I put win 10 on it when it was in trial so now I can keep 10 on it. But after reboots, sometimes the nic shows the network as unknown. I just have to disable then enable the nic and it works fine.
I tried updating drivers but it says I have the latest.
anyone know how to write a batch to disable and enable the nic?
Someone said devcon.exe is needed, but not sure how to use it.
thanks!

Thanks! 1 more question though. I made a 2 line batch (actually, 3 - pause so I could see the results : )
It wanted me to run as admin. I right clicked, chose run as admin and it worked.
But at startup / put in the startup folder? how do you get it to run as admin?

thanks. I chose run at startup rather than at logon.... I've been using this with mouse without borders (remote into the PC) from another PC. and it's hooked up with a KVM so I can get into it directly if need be. But I want to free up the KVM.
I need it to be accessible remotely... so I can log into it remotely : )
right? startup rather than at login makes sense in this case?

It will work with "at startup". Test it.

thanks!
You had that question before, remember? If obda's doesn't work, Do like I told you, use devcon.exe. If you need help with it, just say.
