pmshah Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I have 2 machines. One running Win7 x86 and the other running Win7 x64.I can't figure this out but the command that works with x86 to disable a wired NIC simply does not work on the x64 version. I of course changed the name of the nic appropriately. The command line I used on the x86 was .....netsh interface set interface "nvidia" DISABLED this works perfectly.the same on x64 was ...netsh interface set interface "realtek" DISABLEDThis simply does not work and the cursor simply blinks !!!I wonder why M$ engineers thought it prudent to have them work differently. Only reason I use x64 version is its capacity to access more than 3.2 GB of ram. I don;t see any other advantage to it.Any and all help / suggestions welcome.

MagicAndre1981 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I think you miss a part of the command:admin=disabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanND Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 netsh interface set interface "Local Area Connection" DISABLEDWorked just fine on my Win7 x64 system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmshah Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 @MagicAndreI have tried all kinds of variation after thoroughly reading the netsh.chm and Netsh_TechnicalReference.chm. including the one suggested by you. I have only mentioned the actual command line that WORKED on the 32 bit version. And it does so in less than a couple of seconds.@IcemanNDI think I will try your variation by removing the name I have assigned to the NIC and letting it default to "Local Area Connection".Thanks to both of you.

MagicAndre1981 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 you must set the name of the connection as you see it the network sharing center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmshah Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 you must set the name of the connection as you see it the network sharing centerI have Realtek Gigalan chip on board and a Belkin wifi pci addon card. For quick identification I named them Realtek and Belkin ( I monitor the transfer rates by 2 instances of NetWorx portable.) As I mentioned earlier the command did not work with the specified name so am planning to remove the name and revert to the default name assigned by windows, namely "Local Area Connection" and see. Well after all it is M$ Windows, so all is not easy and hunky dory!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Well, I cannot repro this either, for what it's worth. No matter what I name it, it just works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmshah Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 I guess I will have to live with it, hopefully only till I reinstall the OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmshah Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 I have no idea what happened but the command that worked on x86 and not on x64 suddenly started working on x64 also.I just realised that this is M$ Windows after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
