[SOLVED] Problems restoring network on wake from sleep - Zbox AD04

I have some issues with restoring the wired ethernet connection when waking from sleep. Sometimes it takes 1 or 2 minutes before it comes back up and sometimes it won't work at all unless I restart (usually when it has been in sleep for hours).
The network is configured to a static IP address in rc.conf. Hardware is a Zotac Zbox AD04 (AMD Fusion E450 system) using the r8169 driver. I guess this is probably a driver issue, but I wondered if there's anything else which I could do to solve the issue. I've tried adding r8169 to SUSPEND_MODULES, but that seems to make no difference.
Another issue is that the network is "unreachable" for about 30s to a minute after booting.
Could it be a problem with my router?

I haven't really found anything much in my logs. From the kernel message log:
[ 3.457080] r8169 0000:02:00.0: eth0: link down
[ 3.457146] r8169 0000:02:00.0: eth0: link down

[ 88.123403] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready
[ 98.483350] eth0: no IPv6 routers present
It seems it took 84 seconds after initial setup for the network to come up...
Something a bit odd in errors.log:

Cannot find networks after wake from sleep

I cannot find anyone else posting with this exact issue. Ever since the 10.5.8 update, my 13" MB Pro will not see any of the 10 wireless networks around my place. If I turn the Airport connection off and on again, it seems them and immediately connects to my network as well. Yes, I've zapped the PRAM.
Anyone have any experience with this exact issue?

I'm having, I think, the exact same issue. Since installing Snow Leopard, my internet connection is fine while the computer is awake. However, every time I return from shutdown/sleep or restart, I get the message stating "Your chosen network is not available, please choose another" (or whatever the actual wording is). So I click on the network icon and sure enough, my network is in the list, but I have to click and type my password every time. I've been looking into forums and suggested fixes; so far, to no avail.

10.9.4 update causing internet browsing errors after wake from sleep

Macbook Pro Late 2011, OS X 10.9.4
So before the 10.9.4 update, I had no problems with Wifi and wake from sleep.
Now, after the update, random web pages either don't load (Chrome & Firefox) or return a "Memory Not Allocated" error (Safari). Also, my Work VPN application stops being able to connect. The related Console error is:
acvpnagent[104]: Function: getInterfaces File: ../../vpn/Common/Utility/NetInterface_unix.cpp Line: 1277 missing PPP destination address for interface "utun0"
The only solution I've found is restarting.
Any ideas?

Remove the Cisco VPN client. Use the built-in client, if possible.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and (unless otherwise specified in this comment) I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

Mac Mini using dual-link to ACD 30" wake from sleep problem?

I have a new mac mini and rather new 30"ACD using the display port via dual link adaptor. The screen looks find but sometimes when I put the mini to sleep and turn the display off, and then turn the display on and wake the mac mini, nothing appears on the display. I don't think it is every time, but it occurs. I have my keyboard attached to the display with the usb connection, and so I can choose from the display options to turn the mac mini off or put to sleep when turning off the display manually. I have used this sometimes but prefer not to.
When the display doesn't show any image I have to hard shut down the mac mini, then start it up and leave the display on, then the image shows up.
Is there a solution to this? I don't mind using any one surefire way to wake the whole system wake from sleep. Either turn off or turn on the option where turning off screen also brings up option to put mac mini to sleep or turn off. Don't use that option at all. Attach the keyboard only to the mac mini directly, etc.
Any solutions would be appreciated.

What is the firmware version of your Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter? I've read many reports on how this particular piece of Apple kit is just not working properly (http://www.9to5mac.com/DisplayPort-Dual-Link-DVI-Adapter, http://foliovision.com/2009/12/20/apple-dual-dvi-mini-displayport-adapter-mb571z).
I've seen some people report that running firmware version 1.02 (or now 1.03?) solves their problems. I've also heard that people have had to resort to actually exchange their adapter in an Apple Store and hunt through new boxes to find adapters with the proper firmware version.

I lose network connection after MacBook Wakes from Sleep

I upgraded to Mountain Lion on my 27" iMac and 15" MacBook Pro. iMac is doing fine. MacBook Pro, however, when it wakes from sleep, seems to have the network untility crash.
So the computer wakes from sleep, and the little status bar radar thing does its little sweep and doesn't just go solid. . If I click on it, it shows my Airport as connected, but after clicking, it freezes. the second to the bottom bar goes solid and the cursor becomes a spinning beachball. If I open system preferences, and select network, it freezes. The only way I can seem to get back on line is to reboot. I have an airport extreme with an older (g) airport express that I use to beam music to my stereo. The MacBook Pro is about 2009 vintage—you can still get to the battery, HD and memory—and the iMac is a bit later. One of the first 27" models, not quad core.
Anyone else having this problem? What more info would you need to help resolve? I'm a novelist and this is killing my productivity.
Thanks,
Steve

Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

One wake from sleep solved

Time will tell if it is truly solved but I noted a comment about my screensaver /desktop path in a recent crash report when I had to hard reset after my machine would once again refuse to wake from sleep. After looking at my picture folder that was set for my desktops and screen saver I realized there was / in the name of the folder. I know enough to warn others not to use / in any name. My machine woke properly this AM, although there is some oddity left because in the System Pref, with my folder added and selected for the Desktop use, I can't see any of the individual jpg images in the folder I chose. I can see those in the Nature, Pants, etc folders, but not those in my folder. They are, however working and the wake from sleep problem -seems- gone. We'll see.

nope

After Lion upgrade, having network issues after wake from sleep

After upgrading to Lion from 10.6.8 on my MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011), I am unable to connect to the Internet after the computer wakes from sleep. I should rephrase this - I am able to ping IP's and DNS (DNS servers are present) however none of my apps will connect (Safari, iChat, etc) -> they all indicate the Internet is unavailable. I have two Airport Express's running 7.5.2 extending a WiFi network off an Airport Extreme running 7.5.2. This issue is specific to waking from sleep. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appriciated.

It's definitely linked to Time Machine and backups.
I think If I put my machine to sleep/close the lid and Time Machine happens to be performing a backup, when I open the lid again, the network connection is lost and I receive a bunch of errors about the backup disk being unavailable.
This means that if my mbp isn't in the middle of a backup when I put it to sleep, wifi comes back up without a problem.

Wake from Sleep = No Network

It seems that Tiger does not fix the problem with waking the powerbook from sleep only to find that it will not reconnect to a wireless network.
Can anyone comment? The original threads on this are gone.

I was starting to feel all alone... It happens to me a lot. In fact, when the PB wakes up from sleep, sometimes even the mouse won't move, while the keyboard remains active (usually for a while until it finally freezes too) and I can hit a quick key to restart. At times, even after one restart the mouse is still frozen and the airport does not connect. Disabling the airport port in the sys prefs avoids the issue. Changing the channel on the router would make sense if the issue occurs only with one specific router, but I travel a bit and anywhere I go the problem arises. I've done all the common troubleshooting and repair. I'm ready to return my brand new PB as soon as I return home. This is simply too bothersome.

VNC - Screen Resolution Problem on Wake from Sleep

My question: When it either wakes from sleep or cold boots (NOT on restart for some reason), Mac OS X seems to be confused on the previous resolution of my screen. On wake or cold boot, my main screen SOMETIMES gets set for 800x600 at 56 Hz, according to the display preference pane. I normally run at 1152x870 at 75 Hz. In the past, I have just used the "Detect Displays" command from the display preference pane. This always fixes the screen resolution and restores it to the correct setting.
This would not be a problem if I didn't have to run VNC. These screen res changes are crashing my VNC server. Here's what I do. I run a VNC server (OSXvnc is the name). I go away. Machine goes to sleep. From machine 'x' I send a wake-on-wan packet (a pain in the butt to figure out for me, BTW). My VNC Machine wakes up. I know it's awake, because I can login to it from remote, using SSH. But the screen res problem happened, and OSXvnc shuts down and won't reinitialize automatically. It says "Screen Resolution Changed - Server Reinitialized", and the "Start Server" button is waiting to be pressed. Of course, this cripples my ability to use VNC.
For what it's worth, this problem has happened with two different video cards. Granted, the first card was an ATI Radeon 9000 with 64 MB or VRAM and the second card is the same model with 128 MB VRAM. It's virtually the same card, but still, that's two different cards.
I have 2 CRT displays connected thru adapters (DVI-VGA and ADC-VGA) to the ATI. I'm running all the latest updates for Panther, according to Software Update. This problem has been with me since 10.2.3. I lived with it until it started really getting in the way (VNC crippling & such).
Any thoughts? -- iJW
G4 Dual 1 GHz MDD (no FW 800) Mac OS X (10.3.9)

One other item I just discovered. It seems that whether or not my monitors are powered on has something to do with it. When my monitors are on, the problem doesn't happen.
I like turning them off to save electricity. If I'm using the computer remotely, I already have a monitor. I don't need one powering up at my home that no one's looking at anyway. So the question still stands...
Anyone?

Did 10.5.2 fix the reboot instead of wake from sleep problem?

Can those of you with 2008 Mac Pros that had the problem where the mac would reboot instead of waking from sleep report whether 10.5.2 solves your problem? I'm waiting to buy a new Pro until this is fixed.
thanks

Not for me. I installed the combo update, then the Leopard Graphics Update, repaired permissions. Did some work for about half an hour then put the MP to sleep using the menu. Came back not 2 hours later and hit the space bar to wake from sleep to be welcomed by the lovely Mac chime and a restart. I also installed the update on my MBP 2.6 17" which has not been having this issue and all seems well on the MBP, so I'm leaning towards a hardware problem.
History - Been having the issue since I received the MP 3.0 on the 17th of Jan, tried resetting the SMS, zapping the PRAM, etc,etc, several times to no avail. Called Apple Care and was given a case number but not offered any solution other than removing all items from Login Items under Accounts and configuring the Energy Savings settings to Never, Never and unchecking all accept for Restart automatically after power failure. This didn't work either as the day after I had called and did his with the product specialist it happened again.
Everything is stock on the MP 3.0 2008 - Needless to say, I'm putting in another call today.

OS X 10.7.3 WiFi Update for iMacs and Wake from Sleep Problem

http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1501
Apple has released a software update for those suffering from the iMac wake from sleep/wifi connection issue that resulted from updating to 10.7.3. It fixes the problem for me and several others. For those still suffering this issue, download it and see how it works!

To answer my own question it seems a workaround is to wake the iMac up using the power button rather than the keyboard. The WiFi reconnects this way.

Dual Quad Core - wake from sleep problems

I have a brand new Quad core 2.8 ATI Radeon, and have experienced both wake from sleep problems within the first week of ownership, more than once. Namely, restart on wake, and/or corrupt graphics-frozen on wake. I haven't called AppleCare, but my question is is it worth it? Is it thought to be a software problem, or a hardware issue? I don't want to go to a lot of trouble if any replacement exhibits the same problem (or worse), but at the same time I feel it is a real issue and should be dealt with under guarantee. What should I do? Suggestions please...

There's lots of anecdotal data in the forum here and elsewhere, but the bottom line so far is that nobody knows except perhaps the Apple folks that are working on it.
No one that I've seen posting has identified even a common thread...some machines have the reboot from sleep problem, some have graphics issues, some have both (I'm in the first camp...reboot from wake but no (touch wood) graphic issues.
It wouldn't hurt to call Apple and get your issues on record; it helps them know the extent of the problem.
Your warranty is for a year so it's not immediate, especially since there doesn't seem to be a lasting fix available. Resetting SMC and/or PRAM works for some...for a while...
Right now I'm simply not sleeping the machine (I don't normally do it anyway) and waiting for Apple to come out with a fix. My bet is on a software/firmware fix (there are reports that the problem does not happen in bootcamp/windows, which more or less rules out hardware). But that's a sort of educated guess.
People have returned the machine only to get the same...or worse. Again, I'm not rushing into that.

MacBook Pro Sleep/Wake from sleep problem

As of today I have been experiencing a strange problem with my MBP. I can't wake my MBP when I open the screen although the machine is running. I also realized that I can't put it to sleep mode when I select it from the menu. Also, strangely, when I close the display to put it in sleep mode, the light stays on, instead of blinking. I already reset the power manager and the parameter RAM. I also have all my software updated. Any help would be appreciated.

I searched for Macbook Pro sleep issues since I am having one with my brand new 2.4 MBP.
I adjusted the sleep mode so it doesn't "safe sleep" because that took far too long for my needs. Before and after doing so, however, after the computer goes to sleep (pulsing light), I have taken it out of its bag and noticed the Apple lit up and it making noise. It wakes when I open the lid again but I am concerned it never slept soundly.
I have Bluetooth wake from sleep OFF so that's not the issue.
Has anyone else had concerns that their MBP is not sleeping soundly? I don't want to damage this computer, but I cart it back and forth to work every day i my backpack, and I need to be comfortable that it's parked and asleep during transit.

IMac 27" i3 - problems with wake from sleep

Hi
My farthers iMac 27 i3, has got this anoying problem, that the machine sometimes won't wake from sleep - maybe 1 out of 10. The only solution is to pull the wall socket, witch is a very bad solution. Pushing or holding the power button won't make the machine wake.
I can't hear the harddisk spinning up, so I guess it's not a display problem.
Can it be the PSU, or maybe just a software problem?
How can get closer to this problem?
Thanks a lot in advance

Don't have any non-Apple USB devices connected. They may not like low power mode for USB on Energy Saver.
