I have the same problem on my HP Pavilion 4630us. Once I
hibernate then I cannot reconnect any internet
connections; email web or anything else unless I reboot.
However I had this problem before I installed SP2
(althought the earlier updates must be much in common.) I
am also running Zone Alarm. Switching it off didn't help.
