hi folks,

so i have my G4 set to spin down the discs and all that jazz after 2 hours of inactivity. i usually have my computer on all night, but when i wake up in the morning, i notice that my internet connection has been dropped (rogers cable) - my msn is signed off, and entourage hasn't downloaded any messages.

is this normal behaviour during sleep mode? if not, is there any way i can change it??

thanks!
steve.

When the computer goes into sleep mode, it is like shutting it down, in that it halts any and all processes.

Because nothing is happening until it wakes back up, that is why Entourage won't get it's mail. MSN will disconnect whenever the computer is put to sleep (or more annoyingly, whenever it damned feels like it).

So yes, this is normal behaviour with sleep mode, and the only workaround I know of is to not have the computer sleep. (But the monitor can always turn off, and the hard drives spin down.)
