Quote - I am on a desktop PC, which automatically connects to the internet on boot-up. How can I drop the internet connection using keyboard and mouse? rather than going on all fours behind my computer table and finding which wire and unplugging it.

Right click your network icon in your system tray > Open Network and Sharing Center. Go to Change Adapter Settings on the left and you'll see your lan adapters. Right click on the one you have your ethernet plugged into and choose Disable. When you want it back, same process and choose Enable.

This is for Win7, prior to that and I don't remember. Same thing iirc, just not in the same spot.
