Sleep Mode = network problems

N

nweissma

i don't want to rant..i have no major gripes against microsoft.

all i want to do is acquaint ms with what i believe to be a bug.

to wit: when i "shut down" or "restart," there is no problem.

when i put the computer to "sleep," it causes enough problems on my network
to require me to call my isp for a repair. i don't know enough to provide the
details to this, but i wil;l say that i had not contacted my isp for 2-3
months; i entered "sleep" on 2 consecutive days and both days i needed to
call my isp.

firstly, i use broadband, not dial-up.

secondly, there is no error message involved; the connection is simply lost
and apparently the network becomes misconfigured.

thirdly, what is th difference between "hibernate" and "sleep"? i tried to
tease out a distinction by reading the ms kb's, but the ms authors write
illegibl; in fact, this is my only gripe with ms!

4thly, how do i send vista-32 into hibernate mode?

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/933872/en-us may be
your problem.

hibernate = saves everything to disk in a special file and puts
computer in extreme low power mode. when you wake it, it reads the
contents of the file in saved to disk and restores items to memory

sleep = a low power mode - suspended - not as deep a sleep as
hibernate

some Vista computers allow "hybrid sleep"

I asked about errors because of your statement that you have to call
your ISP to repair this...

Sleep - Short term low power mode. Your computer is still running.
Hibernate - The computer saves its state to the hard drive, then shuts
down.

1. can i put vista-32 home premium into "hibernate"?

2. contacting my isp was not prompted by a stated error but rather that i
was unable to connect. the isp then located various problems.

i would like to tell you the problems that the isp located, but i don't know!
he had me run "_(?)_config" in the DOS window, and he realized that one of
the parts of the 4-part decimal "url" had been changed (something like ".1."
became a ".10."); i think he may have also located a second problem.

the second call to the isp, prompted by the loss of connect capability,
caused by entering "sleep" on the next day, all i can say is that the problem
appeared to be different (which the isp did rectify).

sorry that i cannot offer you a complete and detailed report -- i aspire to
technical competence but i don't possess it at this time.

i did install the solution that you suggested on 11/30
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/933872/en-us
but have not yet tested it (by entering "sleep" mode)

btw, can vista-32 enter "hibernate" - which you describe as a "mini-restore"

thanks for your help!

most machines can hibernate. it is not a mini restore. what it means
is that if you have open programs or documents, everything is saved
to disk and then when the machine "wakes" these are restored to the
state they were in prior to hibernation. it isn't a restore like
system restore.

i'm sorry for the delay in responding..personal emergency (feral cats!
anyway, i digress).

i installed the ms patch, and now when i wake from sleep, i am presented
with this window: http://s244.photobucket.com/albums/gg20/nweissma/

the solution is to choose the last option -- "Reset the network adapter
'Local Area Connection'". this rectifies the problem after a few seconds --
whatever is being done!

the first thing I would suggest trying is to unbind IPv6:

in the start box type:

ncpa.cpl [enter]

right click the ethernet or wireless connection you are
troubleshooting

select properties and acknowledge the UAC prompt

uncheck IPv6 and click OK

reboot - do you have connectivity? if yes, see if this improves the
situation with connectivity after sleep mode.
