Hey guys, I have a problem here which I wonder whether any of
you faced. I do not want my laptop to shut down as I heard it
reduces the lifespan and also it defeats the purpose of owning a
laptop as you should be able to use it anywhere anytime. So I'll
hibernate it most of the time when its not in use (can't leave it
running, my mum will slaughter me when she sees the bill). I use a
Belkin router at home for wireless networking.
Now heres the problem. When my computer startup from hibernation,
everything went well, it says I'm connected to my router with
excellent signal and all but when I open Firefox, I could not
access any websites at all. It just can't connect to the internet.
I even tried the (satanic) M$ Internet Explorer. It can't work as
well. I tried Repairing the wireless connection and also
disconnecting from the wireless for a period of time and connect
again. It still can't work. I've also tried disconnecting from the
router before hibernation. The problem still surface. I can only
connect to the Internet after restarting the whole laptop.
However, when I hibernate my laptop at home then bring it to school
and wake it up, it can connect to my school's wireless perfectly
and access the Internet. And fyi, my school's router is also
Belkin.
I need to know whether its my laptop or the router's problem and
how do I solve this?
If you need my laptop specs:
Intel Pentium M Processor 740
(1.73GHz, 533MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache)
512MB DDR2 RAM
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
Microsux Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2
Thanks in advance
