It was a fresh install of 8.1 preview and not an upgrade. It seems that whenever I resume from sleep the Realtek Gigabit PCIe onboard NIC wont work at all.

Ping will just give me a general failure. The only fix is to uninstall the NIC and let windows redetect it and it will work again.

 

This also even happens if I disable the NIC and renable it in network connections. Different drivers seem to make no difference whether the Realtek or MS driver so dunno what I can do to fix that.

Motherboard is GA-Z68X-UD3R-B3 but I can't see any reason why I have the problem on this board but not on an older board with a similar realtek nic. I mean I can live with the problem but it is a little bit annoying to have to reinstall the NIC every day.

Try going into Device Manager and open the NIC's settings window. Go to the Power tab and un-check "allow computer to turn off this device" and/or "allow computer to put this device to sleep", then reboot. I usually do this to all my machines.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one. Having tried more stuff I discovered that when I put in a PCI Intel Pro 100 NIC it exhibited the same symptoms as the Realtek NIC.

 

Also do you get the same problem when you disable and renable the NIC or just when resuming from sleep?

Ok turning off power management for the NIC in device manager had no effect, problem still exists. And no amount of disabling/enabling the NIC fixes it either, its just dead when resuming from sleep, a restart is required. Could this be related to VirtualBox? Anyone else have that installed? It may be worth trying to uninstall it and trying again, perhaps theres something in the VirtualBox NIC drivers causing an issue.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      Not sure there is good value here.... the only real choice is 2GB w/ Controller since 1. 512GB would disappear fast based on today's PC game installs 2. Controller is back ordered until 2027. The appeal of playing PC games on TV (along with PS5) sounds interesting, but I am not too lazy to fire up the huge PC either. Not really sure this would be "worth" it.

      Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
