Computer won't sleep
HP Pavilion A6009N desktop
3 gigs RAM AMD +64 dual core processor Nvidia 9800GT Graphics Microsoft 1000 wireless keyboard & optical mouse Problem - 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. Looking for ideas., anyone? -- Dave T.

Computer won't sleep
Do you have wake on Lan disabled in your BIOS?

something different like wake on network. "Dave T." wrote in message ...

Go to control panel, system and maintenence, system - click on device manager. Go to Network adapters and right click on the adapter that you use to connect to router. Click properties and go to the power mangement tab. CLear the box that says allow device to wake the computer. Hope this helps. -- Daniel Norman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Daniel Norman's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/daniel-norman.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-har...es/1137046.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

But unfortunately it led to another problem. When the computer goes to sleep the Ethernet connection is broken, but when it wakes up it fails to re-establish that connection. Is there a setting to cause the network adapter to establish a new connection? A hot restart won't do it, only a cold boot. -- Dave T.

Did you check if your BIOS had the same option since the Windows option you
are using is not working. I am surprised that windows even with a restart does not work. How about run/cmd/ ipconfig/ / renew? "Dave T." wrote in message ...

You can't imagine the extra work I had when I was a god. - Hirohito, Emporer of Japan Yeah, I think it may be coming down now to the cable. I have put this thing to sleep several times and it re-established the connection on its own a couple of times. This last time it failed to connect and I unplugged the Ethernet cable and plugged it back in and it immediately connected. I need to come up with another cable and see if that clears it up. -- Dave T. You can't imagine the extra work I had when I was a god. - Hirohito, Emporer of Japan |

If disconnecting and reconnecting the cable works then maybe using device
manager to disable and enable the connection may also work. I don't think the problem is the cable itself. "Dave T." wrote in message ...

Unplugging and re-connecting does it. I can do the deed in the back of the gateway router or at the net adapter and it will re-establish the connection. BTW, I tried another cable and it made no difference. -- Dave T. You can't imagine the extra work I had when I was a god. - Hirohito, Emporer of Japan |
