We have a fast cable modem and I am always hooked to the internet. When I put my Vista 32 bit PC into system standby and then come back to Windows, every time I have to manually repair and reconnect the internet. On my XP32 system the internet automatically reconnects instantly as well as many other computers around the house. It seems like an easy fix, but not sure where to start. Any pointers?

I have the same problem with my Packard bell imedia x2416, I took the first Pc back complained about this fault and they replaced with new PC, but still got the same fault. To re-connect I have to unplug ethernet cable and plug back in sometimes takes several attempts.
Have just posted same question myself, if I get an answer will pass it on.

I am not sure and will try this, but I am wondering if its the difference from Hibernate to system standby. Maybe the PC is in Hibernate mode and thats what causes this and not actually in standby. I am not sure which one it is set at now, but I will look into that further.
