Vista needs reset network adapter after wake up

Hi,
I have several notebooks with Windows Vista Business 32 installed.
After wakeup from sleeping mode, is necessary to reset network adapter to
get to the internet.
Otherwise only local network is reachable.
I disabled power off of network adapter during sleep mode, Disabled IP6. I
tried to install KB933872 but installation end because KB is not for my
operating system.

Yes I had this. Couldn't find a cure other than Windows 7!

I have the same problem

The strange part is that i have looked at several other vista laptops
and 1 works if you put it 50 cms away from the router, upon wake it
takes 20 seconds to find the networks.

My own laptop needs a reset as well.

Although it needs a reset ONLY in my home network. This does not happen
with public networks in coffee shops, and computer repair places.

Have you tried taking your notebook to wake up somewhere else ?

Hi
Is this is a wire or wireless NICs.
Some time the issue can be the Router and the way its DHCP provides IPs.

The network in relation to this computer is wireless

i noticed this yesterday, when i wanted to share my desktop DVD writer
on the network, because my laptop dvd stopped working

and when i enter the public folder, via the "my network places" from
this computer, it crashes

You might want to take a look at this...

Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or from
certain non-Microsoft DHCP servers
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233

"Note: This issue does not occur in Windows 7. The registry key
DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle is set to 1 by default."


Possible scenario might be even though Windows Vista could obtain an IP
address through DHCP initially on boot, they might have problems
re-obtaining an IP address when they come out of sleep.

Hi,
it is wired connection.

You might try getting the latest network drivers. Sometimes the people who
write the drivers forget to test all the functionality after coming out of
sleep mode.

I am not a MS "Engineer" but this worked for me:

- Open 'Control Panel', Click on 'Network and Sharing Center' then click on 'Manage Network Connections' in the left sidebar.

- Right click on your connection, usually 'Local Area Connection', then click properties.

- Click on the 'Configure' button, then the 'Advanced' tab.

- Go to 'Reset PHY If Not In Use' and change the value to 'Enable'.

- Click 'Ok' and restart your computer.

I tried all the other fixes mentioned in your post and they did nothing for me. I changed the IPv6 and the power save settings back to original values and everything still works with the one change as detailed above. This was on a Vista machine with the nVidia router. Hope this helps - I searched everywhere for a solution to this problem and finally stumbled on to this myself. Like I said, I'm no MS Support "ENGINEER" just a frustrated user!

P.S. It will take a few seconds for your Internet connection to re-establish after coming out of Sleep mode, but it beats having to reset the network adaptor. It may have done this orginially, but it is such a quick reset you would never notice anyway.

I have discovered that I must leave the option for vista to power off my adapter in the ENABLED mode. Contrary to everything I have read about this problem, mine began recovering automatically from sleep mode after I ENABLED the power off option. It seems that upon awakening from sleep Vista needs to know that it must power up (reset) the adapter to use it. Worked for me.
