When returning my notebook from a sleep state, the network icon with the
status of acquiring network address appears in my task bar - yet I have a
static IP. The only way to remove it is to open Network Connections and hit
refresh (f5).
I have a Dell Inspiron 9100. Its the wireless connection that presents this
problem. The built in nic, ieee and Cisco vpn connection are all disabled. I
have set a static IP, Subnet, Default Gateway, Two DNS, One WINS, Enabled
NetBIOS over TCP/IP and use an LMHOSTS. I have the firewall enabled. The
connection icon being always visible in the task bar or not makes no
difference.
I can recreate it by either hibernating my pc or putting it to sleep.
Occasionally it does happen from a cold boot. Latest drivers/firmware have
been installed.
Any ideas?
