Why? Sounds user-hostile.

Solution 1

To connect, you should run the following command in the Command Prompt: ipconfig /renew
And to disconnect, you should run the following command: iponfig /release
You can do this easily from C# code:

C#

using System.Diagnostics; // add this at the top of your code file

C#

ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo();
info.FileName = "ipconfig";
info.Arguments = "/renew"; // or /release if you want to disconnect
info.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
Process p = Process.Start(info);
p.WaitForExit();

Hope this helps.

Can you tell me just like this can we disconnect other system net connection in a network

I don't think you can do that with ipconfig. But if you have access to the configuration page of your router (which is located at 192.168.1.1 or a similar IP), you can block a specific client there.
