hey guys I got a question that is having even my friend (network guru) puzzled. Well I have a laptop that I can use VPN on. Well last time i tried to use it at home it worked fine.. now it does not work at all.. here are the symptoms.


I plug the computer into my router

I start it up and the light says I am connected is ON my router (little 1 sign on my netgear router)

when it is done booting up the 1 sign turns off

I log in and it still is off

I go to restart or shutdown the laptop and it turns ON!

only when I am booting up or shutting down my machine...... what is the deal!

Check to see if the power management is not turning off the nic.

2nd. Some VPN clinets are setup as manual connection.

And check to see of the port is being disabled. Device manager.
