In windows a Network Interface Card (NIC) can be disabled in the device manager.

To get to the device manager click start, then click run, then type "devmgmt.msc" (without the quotes) and press enter (or type it in the "Start Search" box if you use Windows 7 or Windows Vista).

It will be under the "Network Adapters" category, the exact name will depend on the model of card you have.

Another way to disable it is in the "manage network connections" page from the Network and sharing center in Vista and Windows 7 (disable it in "Network Connections" in Windows XP and Windows 2000).

Finally, if it is an integrated network card, it can usually be disabled sing the BIOS (CMOS) setup.
