HI,

I am using windows media center-I need to start to download after 2AM. because it is free.
can anyone tell me how shedule windows to connect to net at that time automatically-I am able to schedule other programs but not connect to internet.

if you use dchp to get your ip info, you can make a simple batch script scheduled to run after what time you need like this:

Code:
ipconfig /release

this will stop your computer from gaining access to the internet.

The next step would be to create another batch file and schedule it to run at 2:00 like so:

Code:
ipconfig /renew

That would renew your ip address and allow you to access the internet during the "free time". Schedule the first batch file I showed at the time the free access ends.
