I have just had broadband installed and installed an ORIGO modem to connect.
This is the second modem I've tried (the other one was a DYNAMODE) and the
problem is still the same so I don't think it's the modem.
It connects when I start the PC from cold but if I put the PC into STANDBY
mode (using Windows XP) it refuses to connect. I can only reconnect by
restarting the computer or by turning it off at the mains and restarting.
However, there is no consistency with this. Sometimes I've pressed restart
and it won't connect. Sometimes, I've come from STANDBY mode, fiddled with
the settings under MY COMPUTER then tried to reconnect and it works.
At a guess, it seems to be resetting itself everytime I go into standby mode.
I have spoken to my ISP that supplies the modem and broadband. I've looked
at the DEVICE MANAGER option under HARDWARE, SYSTEM PROPERTIES but in the
POWERMANAGMENT OPTION under the USB ROOT HUB properties the 'Allow computer
to turn off this device to save power' is NOT ticked so this is not the
problem.
Also, my clock is losing time. I reset it when the PC is on but when I come
to use it again it has not kept time.
Please advise
