Lose Internet Connection After Restoring From Sleep Mode
Apr 18, 2008
I wonder if anyone can help me regarding this problem. Incidentally I have read and tried the suggestions on the sticky on sleep mode problems but I feel this does not match my problem.
I have the computer booted and then I can connect to the internet OK when I leave the computer and put it into sleep mode this works OK, however when I return and wake it up I cannot get an Internet or email connection and the only way is to restart the system. Can anybody give me any ideas?
I've searched here for this problem, and it seems that others have had it as well. I just got a new PC and it's running Vista. Each time I put it into sleep mode, when I come back, I have no wireless internet. I can either reboot or unplug the wireless receiver, either work, but it's a pain. Repair/diagnose does NOT work. For what it's worth, I had another PC, less than a year old, and it does the exact same thing. I just assumed that the old one was just wierd and my solution was to not put it into sleep. We do have a hard wired one, it does NOT lose connection when in sleep mode. My internet comes back just fine upon unplugging the receiver / replugging it. I have tried the solution I found..by unchecking the 'allow the system to put this device to sleep'..that did not work. the PC's are pretty DISSIMILAR in what they have on them for hardware, which leads me to believe it's a Vista thing. They don't even have the same spyware stuff..
I recently bought a new desktop. Os is the vista home premium edition. The internet often lose its connection. My msn keeps on re-connecting again and again. when i checked the status of the connection, everything is perfectly fine, the signal strength is excellent. I have no problems with my previous xp desktop. Everything is excellent, well, until it crash.
I have an old cordless phone (at least I guess it is ) it's a 2.4 ghz. I just noticed when I make a call I lose wireless internet connection. has this happened 2 any1 else? ( i have made many calls and long ones at times but I just noticed it happened today and verizon said I have to get a 5.8 ghz phone.
Using my ISP (Roadrunner Carolinas) speed test site; I get around 200 to 400 kbps download speeds using IE in normal mode. If I boot to Safe Mode, I get around 3500 to 4500 kbps, which is what it should be (this is what I used to get in normal mode before I re-installed Vista). Running the same speed test with Firefox, I get around 1500 to 2000 kbps in normal mode, but if I try to download a file it ransfers at only the 200 to 400 kbsp rate (if I'm lucky). Here's more detail about the system and what I've done so far:
Installed all updates including SP2. Using Windows Firewall, no anti-virus. Updated network drivers directly from NVidia (Chipset is nForce750i) Updated graphics card drivers directly from NVidia Disabled all LAN protocols except for Client for Microsoft Networks and IPv4 Connected via ethernet cable directly to cable modem, no router. I've deliberately refrained from loading anything but the basics until I can get this sorted out..........
I'm so glad i've found these forums, I just recently got a dell inspiron 530, Windows Vista. I recently did a factory restore on my computer and now everytime i put it in sleep mode, it wakes up after a few seconds without me touching it and I want to prevent it from waking up without my command. Also when I view videos in full screen on the internet, I have these two black bars that appear on the left and right of the screen, how can I get that off?
whenever i put the computer to sleep, and when i resume it, the ethernet light on my tower goes off and i m no longer able to access the internet. When i restart, it works fine. I followed this tutorial and its not working.
recently i have been having problems with my browsers. i use both safari and firefox over a wireless network at home.
i can happily surf for around 10 mins with safari, but after that time it is as though i have lost my connection to the internet. i can then use Firefox for a short time, around 5 mins after that, then the same problem arises. in order to get back online i have to restart my laptop.
i have no idea what the problem is, its been doing it for over a week now, and i need my internet as i have university deadlines coming up.
the router/isp are fine, as my flatmates both have steady connections (ones running XP the other Leopard). avast, ad-aware, and malwarebytes all come up clean- though i had some reported malware a week or so ago which adaware dealt with
i have however been trying to make my laaptop as fast as possible without overclocking it, so have been diabling startup services and other non-essental services that eat my precious ram and cpu power. is it a common vista problem? or have i changed a setting or something thats making it do this? i have read other threads with simmilar issues, but have not found anything that helps.
I would like to put my wireless mouse in inactive mode during sleep mode. As it is an mouse movement, usually accidental, wakes up the computer. I looked for a way but couldn't find this facility.
I have a Vista Business laptop which I connect to the internet via wireless, and need to VPN to my company. I have created a VPN connection and it works until I'm connected to my company server. I then , and the Network and Sharing Center shows both connections as Local Only. If I disconnect the VPN, internet access is restored.It seems Vista cannot cope with two connections to different networks!
I am finding my internet is slow, I open utorrent or vuse or a torrent program that uses bandwidth and I lose all internet browsing, msn messenger but skype stays online and the torrents download at a slower rate but still download.... as soon as i close any bandwidth sucking program the internet comes back but still a slower speed. i have adsl2+ so speed shouldnt be an issue
I have VIRGIN wireless broadband with a Huwai e220 modem. It is connected to my Windows Vista Ultimate desktop PC via USB. I also have a small network comprising 1 x Linux Mandriva PC, 1 x Linux Mint PC, and an old desktop without g/card, monitor, mouse or k/board that I use to store files. My problem is that whenever I connect to the internet I lose my network. When I try to change the settings in the "network and sharing centre" i can get my network but no internet! I hav etried every possible combination of settings that i can do without being able to have both. The strange ting is that sometimes when I connect it all works for about 3 minutes then it falls over!
I was wondering if and when Vista is put in sleep mode, does it continue to accept updates as is explained on the Microsoft website? If this is true, then will email also download from the server if the Windows Mail program is left on and maximized and the DSL modem is left on? Because the modem runs hot I usually turn it off at night, along with the computer, but I'm having problems with the server, who returns email to senders because the server only allows a small amount of bandwidth to collect in each user's webmail box.
When my computer goes to sleep mode it doesnt remain in sleep mode it comes out after a short time (say 20 mins). Is there a way to make it remain in sleep mode
It seems for maybe the past couple of weeks it seems that sometimes the screen saver doesn't kick in.
When the time for the monitor just goes right to sleep it does. W/o the screensaver kicking in, or after it runs maybe a minute.
The odd thing is after I go and check the power settings, which all look fine, it works as it should. I have tried different screen savers as well as changes the timers. I don't know if this is from 1 numerous amt of MS updates or is there maybe a corrupt file or something.
Can someone tell me how to Wake my computer from Sleep Mode? When my computer goes into Sleep Mode, I can't wake it by hitting a key on the keyboard or by moving my mouse (like in XP). I have to push the power button on the computer. I've done some searches for the problem here and on Google but still can't find a good answer.
I have Vista Home Basic SP1. Recently my computer won't stay in the sleep mode. After less than 1 minute the processor wakes itself up. Any thoughts as to what might be waking my computer? I have recently installed a new virus protection program. Could that be the culprit?
This is a very nice tutorial but unfortunately it did not help me. I have an HPdv9728cl laptop. Sleep works perfectly with the factory configuration but something added since seems to prevent it. I have no idea what but it is a real PITA. I tried the task manager and nothing significant seems to be running and also tried stopping all startup programs with no luck.
I am considering using sleep mode on my laptop and even on my desktop. I nderstand that the CPU and RAM as well as some control circuits are still "on". I am concerned that my CPU and RAM will fail sooner if I do this. Running 24 hours a day has to have some bad effects. What is the downside of using the sleep mode on either a desktop or a laptop?
I recently installed Vista Ultimate x64, and I'm puzzled at how sleep mode works. It went into sleep mode, and neither keyboard nor mouse could wake it up again. I pressed sleep button again on keyboard, and computer went to hibernation, then tried to wake it up again but nothing. I finally had to push reset on the case itself.
My vista Home Premium computer Freezes after coming out of the sleep Mode 1. as attached to a wireless router, i have 2 gigs of memory, and everything seems to run fine until i put her to bed for the night?.
What works better, shutting Vista down all the way or using the Sleep mode? I have been using sleep mode more often lately and have noticed more responsive programs but is it the right thing to do
My Vista 64 machine (Gigabyte GA-X48-DS5 mobo, Q6600 cpu, 8GB ram, Radeon HD2400 vga card) has a problem when it resumes from sleep. There is a protracted (3 seconds) buzzing noise and then the display shows a vertical pattern of narrow red and white stripes and the machine hangs. Only a reset will get it to reboot - the keyboard is completely dead.
I used to have no problems getting Vista to backup and do other maintenance at night while in the sleep mode. After my Vista reinstall I get error messages from the backup program (couldn't run) and anti-virus program (can't download updates), and a few others. I assume there is a setting that I do not have right.
The system will not go into sleep mode. i have checked the settings in windows itself to make sure it is setup correctly and it is. I have also installed another OS Windows XP 64 Professional and that will go into sleep mode. I do not know what is causing it but when the sleep button on the start menu i clicked it will act like it is going to go into sleep mode then instantly wake itself up without actually reaching sleep.
My machine is an Evesham 17" Laptop, Intel Dual core, 2GB RAM, Nvidia graphics, wireless conection to internet. Just plain standard really. I have it configured to enter Sleep mode, rather than Shutdown, when I've finished for the day and this has always worked perfectly......until last night. I put it to sleep as usual, turned off external power and toddled off to bed. This morning when I came down I found it up and running with not much power left. I switched mains back on and was presented with a message that "Internet Explorer has stopped working." IE was definitely not running last night. As soon as I closed that box, another one appeared saying that Adobe Flash was ready to install an update - clicking OK enabled the update to be installed. Next Paint Shop Pro decided that it also wanted to install an update, and duly did so. I then shut the machine down completely and went off to work.
Booting the machine this evening was uneventful until I tried to view a video on the BBC website. I was then informed that I didn't have the latest version of Flashplayer and invited to download and install it. It would therefore appear that the previous update had actually reversed Flashplayer. What I hope is that some kind person can tell me is how the machine wakes up from sleep mode all by itself? I've checked BIOS and there is nothing enabled there which would allow an automatic start from sleep. I've also checked my power setting in Control Panel with similar results. Full AV/Trojan scans reveal nothing and the machine is running perfectly. I await the morning with interest.....
ive got a 4gig usb plugged into my pc used as a readyboost because its just lying about so i thought id give it a job to do but it keeps waking my computer up when i put it in sleep mode but cant find an option to stop waking the computer up in the device manager unlike the network adapters etc ..so basicly how do i get it to stop waking my pc from sleep mode?
Computer refuses to go into sleep mode. When I force sleep by clicking the power button on the task bar the computer goes to sleep for about 5 - 20 seconds and then wakes up and stays awake. The cause; Installation of a gateway router from AT&T to provide TV and internet service. AT&T tech support claims no known issues with this router, yet the computer slept just fine prior to installation of this router, and if I power down the router the computer sleeps with no problem. This is not a solution since the router must remain powered up to provide TV service to my home. I have searched the internet for a solution, and have performed all the steps in the tutorial authored by Brink to no avail.
my toshiba equium laptop wont go into sleep mode anymore even though ive set it up to do so in power options the screen just goes black but everything is still turned on. and i was wondering if there was a way to fix it.
