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
