I searched a lot related to netsh and ipconfig /renew and ipconfig /release.

My idea is to write a batch file that would automatically connect to a particular wireless local area network using a network interface .

I tried using ipconfig /renew release ... but it cannot be used as my intention is to keep the media in a disconnected state before running the batch file ..

any suggestions ?

Edit:

Narrowed it down to 

connect name=Profile2 ssid=SSID2 interface="Wireless Network Connection"

Where do i find the "name" in network and sharing center?

@HelloWorld_Always: The poster says the reason the method got lost is because he downgraded his OS from Vista -> XP. So I don't know what clients you want to support with the batch file, but I you use >= Vista you should be ok. What error did you get when trying the method or are you on XP? – RepWhoringPeeHaa Jun 2 '11 at 0:28

@Centro: it's not for Windows. By the looks of it OP wants Windows command. – RepWhoringPeeHaa Jun 2 '11 at 0:14
@HelloWorld_Always I'm sorry I missed it. Just relied on Google and its first result that contains "windows" keyword :). – Centro Jun 2 '11 at 0:29
