How to start/stop a Broadband connection at a specific time on Windows 7 Enterprise?

Question

I want to start my broadband connection at a specific time, and stop it at specific time. How do I achieve it on Windows 7 ?

Answer 1

You can use Devcon to disable your network adapter via the task scheduler, then just enable it again when you choose.
You can also run a batch script to change your IP configuration, you'd use the task scheduler for this as well.

EDIT: There are also programs like K9 Web Protection that can block web access on a specified schedule.
