נתקלתי בבעיה קטנה שכשעושים פתור בעיות של רשת הוא פותח את הרשת הגם שחסמתי עם שלשת סוגי החסימות
It disables the whole network
Will this allow me to turn off internet but not LAN, meaning no access to the internet but still connected to other computers in the network.
Hi Keith LaKey, we tested it with the latest windows 10 and there is no such Problem, Your antivirus software or something else may have caused this.
I had to manually regain access to the Network.
I’ve used it several times before. Whit no problems, but to day I unchecked the boxes, and couldn’t connect to web sites. (I could Ping OK). Windows troubleshooter said there was a DNS problem. I checked my NIC IP4 config, and my DNS was set for 127.0.0.1. I set it back to automatic and regained access. It looks like the tool "thought" it re-enabled DNS, but was not successful. Perhaps you need to code in verification.
Seems to work great for basic use.
I don’t think you can override this tool very simple,Thanks for your comment
Its very simple to override this tool. But this is good for short time protection…
We have checked it again , There is no problem with the parameter.Net Disabler need admin privileges, if it not get this Privileges , may cause some errors but we have not received such an error notification so far.
After a restart, the network adapter cannot be activated with the command line command NetDisabler_x64.exe / E.
