My problem is with the connection being broken after returning from
hibernation. My private network is using NAT, so the network configuration on
the computer is stored in the alternate configuration, this way I can still
use DHCP in other wireless networks. But when the computer returns from
hibernation its trying to connect via DHCP for like 10 minutes before it
decides to us the Alternate Configuration. This was never a problem with
WinXP, and I'm sure there are more people out there using NAT and DHCP. If
DHCP is not available isn't it suppose to attempt to use the Alternate
Configuration much quicker than the response that I am getting? if anyone
shed some light on this, or at least test it themselves, I would appreciate
it.
