Are there any .net classes that allow for controlling an internet connection? Such as connecting/disconnecting from a wireless connection?
Any details need to be useable in any .net framework version running on XP sp/3 or later windows OS.

A:
HttpWebRequest inherits from the abstract class WebRequest which is used for most high-level internet communications.
"WebRequest is the abstract base class for the .NET Framework's request/response model for accessing data from the Internet"
If you want lower-level but managed access to the WinSock layer then look in the System.Net.Sockets namespace.

I may have confused the question by mentioning HttpWebRequest. Let me restate: Network streams returned from methods like myClient.GetStream() are somehow already associated with a network connection. What I'm looking for is to understand and manipulate that original association. For instance, the stream that is written to when calling write() on a stream returned from an open socket may be my internet connection through my network card. What if I wanted it to instead use a different network connection, or perhaps a different stream all together?

I re-stated the question removing the mention of WebRequest for clarity.
