Is there any way to programmatically disable and re-enable a NIC, the way it is done when you select Disable in Control Panel/Network Connections?
I've been looking around Win32 and WMI but can't seem to find a way to do it.

Jan, I think that method will work, thanks for that.
Blowdart, if you read the page, it explicitly says WMI has no method for doing what I want.

And then gives you Win32, which you had talked about
I didn't realise you wanted "pure" wmi

Where? All I see is this:...disable or enable a NIC? WMI does not have a provider that supports this operation.
Doesn't seem to mention a non-WMI way of doing it. Anyway Jan's method works so it's sorted now.
EDIT: What they call "disabling a connection" is actually just releasing the DHCP lease which wouldn't be enough in my case. -
