wireless network not working after suspend

[OhSoCheesy]

i am using a Dell i9300 with the Intel b/g internal wireless card. after suspend or hibernation the wireless monitor says it has an excellent connection and that it is connecting at 54g, but the computer can't find any websites. sometimes using the repair function fixes it, but half the time it doesn't. i am using a D-Link wireless G Router/AP DI-624 with Verizon FIOS Fiberoptic Internet.

has anyone else had this problem? Thanks!

You lucky! Consider me jealous!

I've noticed that setting up varous brands of laptops for clients...and to be honest, suspend/hibernation...I've noticed it does that across various brands/brands of wireless NICs, etc. I've traditionally never liked suspend or hibernation..it's gotten better since Win2K and XP have come out, but still, you'll notice some things can be flukey like that.

The TCP information will appear correct also, being a 192.168. address, not a 169.254 address.

Quick solution, you dont' have to reboot, just double tap your wireless connection down in the systray, support tab..click on "repair" which really just does an IPCONFIG /RENEW.

That should get you up and running again.

That would be something that would have to be fixed by a BIOS update. Unfortunately I do not see any recent BIOS's that fix your problem.

My 2200BG does that. One driver version doesn't cause that, but performance sucks with most of the newer drivers.

i just found a newer driver and i updated. i'll report back to see if it changes anything.
