Re: [DSL] Internet goes dead after a couple of weeks
Is the box going into hibernation and not waking up?
Check the NIC properties to see if it is set to hybernate.

| It hibernates fine, but it is set to always Suspend S3. Remote wake up works too, via magic packet. Remote suspend also works fine with Sysinternals utility.
I hope that answers your question. Suspend fails occasionally going in, but surprisingly Win2000 is more stable than XP. |

Las Vegas, NV | In the BIOS is it set to S3?
Try S1 or S1/S3. |

| Sorry, maybe my explanation was unclear.
The machine suspends/resumes just fine, but Internet access goes dead, no data coming through, no pages loading in browser. The only reason I mentioned suspend was to indicate that the machine is always on with an average uptime of 2 weeks before the problem occurs. |

| BTW, I always suspect firewalls blocking access, I have NVIDIA Firewall but I checked its log and it doesn't appear to be at fault.
