"my network"
"disconnect it"

If your network is a router (DSL/Cable modem) then you should possibly
configure said router to only allow certain machines - via MAC Address.

How would that help? It will just shotdown, reboot the machine...
If the machine is using a router acting as a DHCP server then the IP would still
be fixed to that MAC address for a certain time
