After goin into standby mode....
 

I tap the power key and computer seems to come back up fine. (albeit too long for me, but still it comes up) However, i lose my network connectivity. It simply refuses to see the network until i reboot.

My system is a homemade abortion as follows:
W2k Professional, SP4 (i do windows update every week or so and download all criticals)
ASUS CUV4X MB, ACPI compliant...or so W2k believes it to be
AMD2000xp processor
512mb ram
ASUS GEFORCE3 AGP video card
SOHOware 10/100 net card

Anyone know a neato command to "refresh" the network or something?

Thanks,

Bill

try logging off and logging back on.

it's simple and worth a shot

helluva good idea....guess i should set my system to go into standby in the shortest possible time and try that out :) hehe

its probably your network card drivers, try looking for an update

yes, it was the drivers. The net card auto installed as a Macronix...blah blah. It's actually a sohoware card, which has the matronix blahblah chipset. I slapped new drivers on and all is good now. Thanks all !!
