I put my computer in sleep mode, and I lose Internet connections? - ducky - 06-03-2014 05:18 AM
I just got a new Toshiba Satellite with Windows Vista about two weeks ago. Every time it goes into sleep mode, I lose internet connection. I will do the Lock shortcut (Windows icon button + L) and I lose internet connection that way too.
How can I fix this?
Thank you so much!
I went to power options and saw nothing about keeping the internet connection during sleep?
Please help!

easy.
anytime a computer goes to sleep, it disables the internet connection. theres a way to set it up so that when you walk away from the computer, it logs out of your account but keeps the internet connection.

You need to go into your control panel and open "Power Management" (you might have to switch to "Classic View" to see this -- I can't remember.
It will allow you to choose what stays awake and what goes to sleep.

This is due to the Power Management for energy saving. You may change the settings via Control Panel -> Mobile PC -> Change Battery Settings. You may see a list of options available, if you want your computer NOT to turn off (while idle), just change it here :-)
