Hello,
I've been a NeoRouter (free) user for years. I remember the old problem with the Neorouter client not connecting after a laptop or desktop goes to sleep. We used to re-start the client or computer and everything was fine. At some point there was a new release and that problem was fixed. All's been fine for years.
Now I have Windows 8.
Sometimes the client just wont re-connect after the computer goes to sleep (like it did years ago), and sometimes it does, but the shared files on the server can't be reached. I can USUALLY ping the server after sleep, but not always.
I have to re-start the machine in order to reconnect and access the shared files on the server through the laptop's client (this is also true through network drives that I have mapped through the shared folder on that server through NeoRouter). Just exiting the client and re-starting doesn't fix the problem... It still won't connect to the shared folders on the server and sometimes wont even ping that machine.
I've mapped drives through our LAN to test if it's a NIC sleep issue and everything works fine. So it's definitely NeoRouter, and I was wondering if anyone has had and resolved this issue or if this is something unique to me and I need to start diagnosing other parts and pieces of this new POS laptop (which I've done quite extensively, but can dig deeper once I rule this out).
Thanks in advance guys! I've used this forum before and you've always been extremely helpful.
Nathan
