  1. Ethernet connection fails after coming out of sleep mode Windows 10


    Every 3rd or 4th time that my desktop comes out of sleep mode I lose my internet connection, wired. To regain the connection I have to restart the computer.


    This has been a recent event...it only started happening a few weeks ago.


    So, I went on device manager, to check out my network adapter, Realkek PCIe GBE family controller, and under properties/events there is this message:


    Device PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8168&SUBSYS_84321043&REV_06\4&1d7623a1&0&00E2 requires further installation.


    * * * * *


    Note:


    -Apparently the adapter's driver is up to date.

    -My desktop originally came with Window's 7



    Any help greatly appreciated.

    :)

  2. Sleep Mode Disconnects Ethernet Internet Connection - An Oldie but a Goodie

    Hi,

    There's a possibility that your Ethernet connection is not enabled to wake on magic packet. For us to isolate this, let's look into the advanced settings of your network adapter. Follow these steps:

    1. Navigate to Device Manager > Network adapters.
    2. Right-click on your Ethernet connection and click Properties.
    3. Click the Advanced tab.
    4. Under Property, scroll down and select Wake on magic packet.
    5. Set the value to Enabled.
    6. Click OK.

    Once done, try to observe if Ethernet connection still disconnects if put to sleep mode.

    Looking forward to your reply..

    Regards.

    loosing ethernet connection on sleep

    Soooo ... I have read a lot of posts on this subject but still not found an answer.

    I have 4 computers networked together .... two windows 7 units, one linux unit and one windows 10 unit.

    The problem is with the windows 10 unit.

    When it goes to sleep, I loose my Ethernet connection.

    I can actually watch on the other computers as the unit drops off the network (and out of the homegroup).

    This means I can not talk to. There is no way of waking it up.

    I need to walk over to it and actually wake it up ... then I see it come back up on the network.

    Great unless I am in the shop rather than the house and I need to walk over to the house to wake it up.

    I did all the things suggested including going into the Device Manager and making sure
    1) that I have "allow the computer to turn off this device" ... not checked
    2) "wake on magic packet" ... enabled
    3) "wake on pattern match" ... enabled

    Still when it goes to sleep, I loose the connection.

    So, I now tell the computer not to sleep .... enter "never" in both "sleep" under power and sleep and "never" under sleep in the "additional power settings".

    The problem is, now my hard driver never sleeps!

    Even if I have not used the computer for several hours, it is still spinning and the light flashes about once every 10 seconds.

    My problem is, I can't believe it is good for the drive to run 24/7!

    When I had it in sleep mode, saw (and could hear) that the drive stopped .... did not run for most of the day since I only use my computer for a hour or two at most each day.

    Now the drive is running all the time. I assume it will fail a lot sooner doing this.

    So, what am I missing?

    Is there some setting in Windows 10 where I can tell the computer .... or more correctly the hard drive .... to shut down without loosing the Ethernet connection so that I can access this computer on the network when I want to?

    Thanks so much ...... Mike

  4. Ethernet connection fails after coming out of sleep mode Windows 10

    Delay in Ethernet Connectivity when exiting Sleep Mode.

    Why yes, this is yet another one of those threads.

    I recently migrated from a Windows 7 machine (Requiescat In Pace) to a Dell XPS 8910 Windows 10 Machine. I've used an Ethernet cable from both machines directly to my router to get internet access, and it runs like a dream. I'm writing this from the Windows 10 Machine in question.

    The problem, however, comes when the machine exits sleep mode. Though this was never an issue with my 7 machine, it takes approximately 2-3 minutes for the network to actually connect. The Ethernet network will report as being connected, however, there is no internet service. After that few minutes, it connects just fine and I'm able to do suspicious things on the internet as per usual. The Network Troubleshooter doesn't offer any clues.

    Is there any advice ya'll can offer? Most support seems to be for situations where the network never connects.

    Thanks in advance.
