Unplug the cable from your P.C (e.g. if you have a modem just pull the cable that goes from your modem to your P.C).

Using the "block internet traffic" function won't close the connection itself , it'll just shut off incoming/outgoing traffic.

I think that it just works for 56k (Dial up) or ADSL that uses DUN (dial up networking) to connect and not an always on connection
