From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:0.9.4+) Gecko/20010921 BuildID: 2001092103 (but also earlier builds; not sure exactly when problem started, but it did work long ago) Running Mozilla on my Libretto CT50 (Pentium 75, 32MB RAM, MS Win95). Works great (if a little slow) except after doing a suspend and resume, networking doesn't work -- the M throbber just spins and spins when trying to access the network. Other network applications (Netspace Navigator, Internet Explorer, SecureCRT) work fine, and if Mozilla is restarted, it works fine too. file:/// URLs work with no problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start mozilla 2. Put laptop into sleep mode 3. Resume 4. Try to access a web page Actual Results: Mozilla throbber just spins; page never loads. Expected Results: Page should load. Other net apps work fine. Local URLs work fine. Restarting Mozilla is a workaround, but not a very nice one since this is a quite slow machine.
Reporter: Does it work if you enter a IP in the URL bar (www.mozilla.org=207.200.81.215)?
Nope; same behavior.
(huh; re-reading my description: obviously I meant "Netscape", not "Netspace" -- fingers must have transposed the letters....)
Reporter: Are you using DHCP to obtain your IP address. If so can you check if your IP is changing between suspend/resume.
Is that the same as "Standbye" in the Win98 start | shutdown menu?
Summary: mozilla networking broken after laptop suspend/resume → Conn: networking broken after laptop suspend/resume (Win95)
I'm using a static IP address. Re: Win98 "standby": Possibly. With my laptop, it's a hardware feature which responds to the standard APM calls.
I don't know much about how this works on Intel systems, I have a Dell, w/ the feature I described above, and it seems to work. I'll torment my laptop some more in the coming days. See if you can get someone else to have the same problem, then move this to "New". BTW, Win95 is getting a bit dated. Just so you know, corporate may not consider this a high priority...
Marking these all WORKSFORME sorry about lack of response but were very overloaded here. Only reopen the bug if you can reproduce with the following steps: 1) Download the latest nightly (or 0.9.6 which should be out RSN) 2) Create a new profile 3) test the bug again If it still occurs go ahead and reopen the bug. Again sorry about no response were quite overloaded here and understaffed.

VERIFIED: If this is still a problem, please reopen. It does work for me, but I don't know if all laptops have the same sleep model (they do on Mac hardware, which I understand better...)
