can you post the text output of

ipconfig /all from an elevated cmd prompt when the computer is in
the "bad" state?

Hi Frederick,

Do you have a static or dynamic IP address? By static I mean one that you
use permanently and by dynamic one that your ISP assigns to you for the
session. If it is dynamic, then this could explain your problem. Most dynamic
addresses are issued on a time-lease basis, and if your ISP doesn't receive a
reply from your machine after a certain period of time (as is the case when
you put your machine to sleep or hibernate), then it will assume that the
address is free and will unallocate it from your connection and reallocate it
to someone else. If ISPs didn't do this, then there would soon be no
addresses available for future customers. I recommend that home users use a
dynamic address because this is much cheaper than having a static one. Static
addresses are useful for companies whose address on the Web must not change,
however their ISP will charge them for the privilege. I also use the
hibernate function on my machine and have a Netgear router, but because I
power off completely both my machine and router after hibernating, I don't
have this problem. You will probably be better off just using the hibernation
feature rather than sleep if you are running your machine on battery power.
In fact, I would recommend that you didn't use sleep at all. You should find
that in the short time that it takes your machine to restore from hibernation
(typically no more than 1 1/2 minutes), your router will have established a
connection for you. This is why I recommend that you power down your router
as well when you hibernate.

Thanks Barb,
Keep in mind that when the laptop exits sleep mode it is connected to the
internet and then disconnects after about a minute or so.

Thanks Robert,

Keep in mind that when the laptop exits sleep mode it is connected to the
internet and then disconnects after about a minute or so.
Here is the ipconfig /all [after disconnect]:

Thanks Dwarf,

I have the same issue after sleep or hibernation. After the Vista wakes, the
internet connection shows connected, but then disconnects after about a
minute or so.
I am using a static IP for the moment until I can figure out the problem.

Can you
1: disable the wireless adapter in device manager for now
2: unbind IPv6 from the wired connection

reboot

any better?

Thanks Barb,

I disabled wireless, unchecked IPv6 from Local Area Connection Properties,
and rebooted. No change.
Fred
PS If I shelled out the $59 or whatever the cost for a per-incident
telephone call to MS do you think they might be able to help? I'm getting
discouraged here.
