    Hey guys,
    Apparently its a common problem on the SXPS 13 where the Ethernet adapter fails to work after the system resumes from sleep. It is caused by the NVIDIA chipset driver. Can you check if yours is working correctly after the system resumes from Standby or sleep? If so, can you post what OS you are using? Which driver(Win 7 or Dell one)?
    Thanks in advance.

    Wireless is working fine though.

    Hello mate,

    Have you tried the repair option if you right click on the network icon?

    I get loads of problems with the rj45 port on Vista 64. I get driver stopped responding forcing a complete reboot. But mostly I plug a network lead in and get no connectivity. If I use the repair option and choose get new IP address it will work again.

    Wireless is also fine with me.

    I wanted to use W7 but my WWAN 5530 will not work in W7 no matter what I try

    Yea I tried repair, disalbe/enable, uninstall driver and let windows 7 reinstall it. I tired both the WIN7 drivers and the Dell drivers. Same problem after resume from standby/sleep. The only way to fix is to restart. No problems with wireless.

    Ethernet works perfectly before the system goes into standby so I don't think its a hardware issue.

    Update: Just installed Vista X64 and same problem with ethernet.
