Hello all,
I ran out of options to solve the following problem and I need your advice.
After return from standby or hibernating the network and internet connection did not re-establish.
The eventviewer ( I typed "eventvwr.exe" in the "Run" window) shows that the DHCP server( which's my router) does not provide an IP address for that computer. Other PC's ( 4 ) in the network are working well and showing not that behaviour and 2 of them are also on Win7.
I tried:
- static IP adress -> no success
- checked the router and the belonging address range -> no success
- disabling network adapter ( Network IC) in hardware manager when returning from standby -> works
- then re-enabling network adapter in hardware manager when returning from standby -> failure, Win7 freezes, hard boot
- same behaviour when I try with MPstandby handler and external batch file.
- in command console I tried different "powercfg" commands
- latest driver for network adapter
- unchecked in properties tab" this device can wake up...." -> no success
Network adapter can be disabled and enabled in hardware manager once a network connection is established but not when returning from Standby/Hibernate neither manually in hw manager nor with batch files using devcon.exe
Another strange behaviour: from normal boot the name of the network connection is "Lan-Verbindung" ( in English OS it is just "network") . But after return from sleep/standby the name changes into "Lan-Verbindung 2" ( or in English OS it would be "network 2")
Any other ideas ? I've searched and searched....
Thanks.
