Networking broken after resume from standby

[jonathanmedwards]

Regularly, maybe 2-3% of the time, when resuming from standby, networking doesn't work. Vista thinks it is connected, but nothing works. I have to reboot. This is on a T60p that had VISTA factory-installed, and it is completely patched.

I can't believe they still haven't gotten Vista working after a year, and I am thinking of going back to XP.

I have a similar problem with Vista.

I have contacted Microsoft and I have receieved some help. But I think it may be the wireless card itself. I have two cards, so hardware problem is not the issue, but the hardware design and/or the driver may be a problem. Vista is draining my pocketbook for new software, trials of this and that and so on, but the next step may be an Intel card rather than Atheros. Everything I read here says Intel seems to be better on newer machines and/or on Vista. ... JDH

The problem seems to be related to Vista trying to run two network locations on the same interface. Some Googling suggests that a possible fix is to remove Apple's Bonjour, which is stealth-installed by Itunes and Adobe CS3. Plausible explanation. Have removed it, will report if the error recurs. Otherwise assume that fixed it.

recently i noticed that when hardwired after hibernation sometimes it doesn't work. vista64 t61p all patched windows and thinkvantage. first i disabled the power mgt on the intel wired card. still had the issue but not every time (like it'd work at work but not at home). today i tried to disable then re-enable the net connection and it worked. trying removing bonjour now hope that solves it...

Hello,

I also reported this issue in the forum.. Wireless Lan does not work most of the time I resume from standby. Bluetooth does. Ethernet I don't use.

I usually use the hardware switch to turn wireless stuff off and on again. WLAN works after that.

Will try the Bonjour tip.

Apple's Bonjour, which is stealth-installed by Itunes and Adobe CS3.

So that's why i found Apple's Bonjour to be installed on my computer. I use Adobe CS3, found it and removed it right away, but never really knew what installation program that installed the useless Bonjour service.

I never seen the problem described here on my computer, but i also removed the Bonjour service right away which might be the reason if the Bonjour service is causing the problem.

I cannot confirm that disabling the bonjour service and renaming the mDNSResponder.exe file fixes the wireless problem after sleep.

Still happens to me.

I de-installed Bonjour using the instructions here:http://arai.wordpress.com/2008/02/11/co ... dnsnspdll/. Worked to fix my problem, the symptom of which is two network locations running on the same interface.
