SYMPTOMS

Socket-based programs running on a Windows 95-based computer may be unable to communicate over a network after the computer is suspended and then resumed from suspended mode.

CAUSE

Network protocol drivers are unloaded by NDIS when the computer is suspended. When the TCP/IP protocol is unloaded, the state of any open sockets is changed and are not restored when the computer is resumed.

RESOLUTION

STATUS

This problem no longer occurs in Windows 98. To resolve this problem, install the current version of Windows. For information about the current version of Windows, visit http://www.microsoft.com/windows.
