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.

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
