(De)activating network connection

["Thiers Botelho" <thiers at fosfertil dot com dot br>]

Hi all,

After searching google and cygwin.com I couldn't find what follows (well, 
maybe didn't search thoroughly enough, but then I couldn't make the search 
terms very much objective . . .)

I wish to use some command within a script to activate / deactivate an 
Ethernet connection.

In WinXP this would normally be done thru Settings / Network Connections / 
Local Connection / right-click .

I found _rasdial.exe_ but it seems to deal only with dial-up connections.

There's got to be some simple cmdline on/off switch somewhere (hope that 
won't be regedit . . .)

Any hints on that are welcome.

Thnx all

Thiers Botelho
