Wireless not working when coming out of sleep mode
When my computer goes into sleep mode, I lose my wireless connection when I
come out of sleep mode. I must turn off the computer and then restart to get it back. When I click repair, it tells me to pick another wireless provider and resetting the network adapter doesn't help. This happens when I am at home, work, or a public location so it is not specific to my wireless network. Also, I am running Symantec for virus protection and windows firewall.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? Vista Ultimate.
- I know you are using Vista since you posted there, but you should put that info along with model names in your posts. This network card not waking is a Power Setting problem. You need to set the option Wake on LAN for your net card in Power Settings in Control Panel. In XP it was easy to check "allow windows to turn off to save power" but it's different and more complicated in Vista. Look at the Properties of your network card in Device Manager and go to the Power Management tab for more info. But change the settings in Power Settings, Change Advanced Settings for your power scheme. PS You might have other hardware having Sleep problems, too.
