Title: Is it me or does Routerstats...
Post by: PuncH on Jun 17, 2009, 23:43:00
report a re-sync whenever my laptop sleeps?

I'm hoping the answer is yes! :laugh:

(sorry for such a rubbish question but now the excitement of the ADSL2+ debacle is dying down I had to come up with something!)

Well if you're running it on the same machine yes,the wireless usually disconnects or enters energy save mode when  sleep is activated and the app won't run during sleep.

Sorry wasn't totally correct as you can often wake the machine via a magic packet sent from another machine/server so some wireless connection can be maintained  during sleep but certainly the app will stop during sleep.
