Easiest way is to just unplug the network cable.  That way, if you ever decide to 
use it again, just plug it back in.

If you use the LAN to connect to the internet, when you disable the LAN, you will 
also disable the internet.  In that case you could just choose not to share any drives 
on your computer.  Go to My Computer, right click on each hard drive, and and click 
on properties, click on sharing.  Uncheck "Share this folder on the network". You 
will still be on the LAN, to gain internet access, but nobody else on the LAN can 
get into your files.

Hope this answers you question.

Do you understand that you are networked to the internet? No network - no internet.

Hey Ricer, you think he read my first post, unplugged it, and can't get back on the 
net to answer us?
