What?, trying to shut down a network is like trying to shut down the internet, the only way to do it is to unplug/destroy your switches/HUBs thus stoping the network from working or in the internet's case destroying all nodes (which would take a f**king long time as there are thowsands upon thowsands)

If you mean the LAN at work, then no, only the admin people can do that and why would they want to? If you want to shut down LAN at home, just don't plug your computer on to the modem/router. You need to explain a situation of what you really want to prevent..

Hehe ,i mean Lan at home , ... I just want to try thats all hehe... But i don't know if thats possible if the comptuer where i want to shut it down isent the admin (i mean i want to shut down the admin comp)...And i don't know much about it (maybe i got to use some other program , or i can just use cmd command -> shutdown ? ) Im just curious , since i don't know allmost anything

So maybe you can help ?

It is very possible to shut down your LAN.

Just walk over to your router/hub and pull the power.

I think this post is relating to security swap "shut down" with "lock down" and we might be getting there.

Please describe what effect you want to acheive. The quickest way to stop anyone accessing your computer through the lan is to pull the network cable out of your computer.

We're just fishing around in the dark with this question until it is stated more clearly

Whats so hard to understand ?
I just want to shutdown my other computer from THIS one( though i don't have the privileges to shutdown a remote computer )...
Same question with a network computer...how can i shutdown another network computer (my network computer) if i don't have the privileges to do that , is it possible?...i just want to know that ... Is it so hard to say ''yes'' or ''no''

Simple answer NO !

If you don't have permission then not a hope.
