Re: Hibernating kills Client computers Internet connection.



Ok, Chuck. I used the DRTCP.exe on the client computer's NIC with MTU Max
size of 1468, after testing with 1500 and going down, that is the max size
with 100% success.

Then I hibernated the host computer for an hour and when it came on line
tested the client's browser and found it working.

So thank you, problem solved.
