Problem with 'Standby' mode

[John Latter]

Hi,

I've only recently started to use the 'sleep' button on my keyboard
and at first it seemed to work ok. What is happening now, however, is
that when I bring it out of sleep mode (by pressing the button again)
desktop appears ok but when I click to launch my internet browser
(AOL) nothing happens - can anyone help please?

Hi, John.

Are you on broadband? I have ADSL. I've not tried to use my keyboard's
Sleep button, but when I use Start | Turn Off Computer | Standby, it goes
into Standby just fine. But when I come out, I have no ADSL connection at
all until I reboot.

I've looked for an answer, but it seems this is "just the way it is". I'll
be watching this thread to see if there is a better answer for both of us.
