XPS 410 - Issue after resuming from Sleep mode
I like to put my XPS 410 into "Sleep" mode vs. leaving it on because I'd rather not have the fans collecting up unnecessary dust, and would also rather not shut it down completely so I don't have to wait for it to boot up and all.
Anyway, I just received my 410 a few days ago, and put it in Sleep mode for the first time last night. When I got up this morning the first thing I did was hit the power button as I passed the computer to let it resume.
After it was back to normal operation, I tried to get online, and couldn't. I checked in the Network and Sharing Center, and it found my home network, but couldn't connect to the internet.
At first I thought it was a glitch with my networking hardware, so I rebooted both my router and modem, but this did nothing.
After checking a few settings, and getting quite frustrated, I just decided to restart the computer and see if that made a difference. After a fresh restart I tried to get back online, and everything was back to normal, fast as lightning.
Again, thinking it was just a glitch I went ahead and put the computer back in sleep mode to test it out. After about an hour or so, I came back and found the same problem all over again, no internet.
I contacted Dell Tech Support and they had me turn off the Hybrid Sleep, and Hibernate features, but this didn't change anything. It sitll does it.
Any ideas?? What's going on where it won't connect to the internet after being resumed out of sleep mode?

Hmmmm, sorry I'm at a loss. Is it possible to reinstall the chipset without a format as your nic card is integrated.

for what its worth my 710 does the same thing and after 3 or 4 sleep wake cycles I have to reboot because the system is no longer stable or is very slow.
My little mac book goes to sleep when ever I'm done with it by cosing the lid, sometimes many times a day and I cannot remember the last time I restarted it.
Even my Dell windows notebooks are not as reliable in going to sleep and waking up so I think its mostly windows.
