Until recently, when I put my laptop into stand by mode the modem's ethernet connection would drop. Now, however, it drops for a few seconds and then comes back on. Short of disconnecting the RJ45, can I program the system to drop the ethernet connection, unless an application wants to connect to the Internet? Thanks.
I would just be thankful with what is happening now and leave it alone. Most complaints in that area are centred around the internet connection not coming back when the system comes out of standy - you're one of the lucky ones, and in any case it isn't as though it's doing any harm as it is.
