Ironguy Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 I am running XP home with DSL provided by Directvinternet. I have a linksys internet everywhere 10/100 NIC. I also have an APC battery backup with full APM enabled. Currently, when my computer goes to 'sleep', or standby, I lose connection between the NIC and the DSL modem. XP says the link is still enabled, but can't refresh the IP address. Usually a reboot and power off and on of the modem solves this. There is no wake on LAN for this card. Anyone had a similar experience? Know a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterbug Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 what u can do, is going to powersettings in control panel and changing the power schemes. if u dont wanna do that than u can change ur bios settings and change the wake up lan (dont remember the bios settings from inside my head)...hope this helps a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironguy Posted April 8, 2002 Author Share Posted April 8, 2002 WinXP has automatic IP assignment. When it connects to the internet, it automatically assigns an IP address to your computer. The problem I had was that after standby, XP would assign an IP address before talking with my DSL modem. Solution? I manually entered the IP info for my PC, DSL modem gateway, DNS, etc and it works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
