hibernate versus shutdown Saturday, October 22, 2005 at 9:31 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by joe (72 messages posted) In the past I have pressed "H" after START/TURN OFF COMPUTER.This saves my files to my hard drive and shuts my pc off.When I want to use my pc I press the power button and very quickly my machine is up and running.I like this since it shuts down and boots up much faster than a normal shut down and a normal turnon.The problem is that when I use this mode I lose my internet connection.I can get the first site ok,but I soon lose the connection if e.g. I click on a link in a web page.Everything else works fine,It's just when I use the internet.If I reboot everything works fine.My question is why does this form of hibernation cause this problem.Also this hibernation seems to be different than the one you select under "Power Options" since I don't think you need to use the power on button to awake from this type of "hibernation" Thanks for any insight on this matter eventhough it's not an earth shaking problem.
