Unable to access internet after waking Vista
Since installing Vista (Ultimate Edition) when I wake Vista from "sleep"
mode I am no longer able to connect to the internet. I can access my router and local network but am unable to ping or access anything outside my local network. The only solution I've found is rebooting the computer at which point everything will work. I have a D-Link DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter connected by ethernet to a D-Link DIR-533 router which is connected to my Comcast cable modem. When Windows XP was installed on this computer I did not have this problem (with all the same hardware and configuration). I've tried setting a static IP and even with all Firewalls disabled am running into this problem. As this issue didn't start happening until installing Vista it must have something to do with the operating system or security configurations but I'm at a loss of what to try next. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks, Marc |

Marc,
Is the D-Link DIR-533 router the correct ID? I can find no reference to it on the D-Link site. Second, will it support Windows Vista? Try updating the firmware from D-Link. "M.

Is this by chance a case where the browser is still running when SLEEP commences? If so, it happens here on occasion. The fix is to simply close the browser first (SeaMonkey). |
