Solving computer problems
Problem: When you are using the port replicator, resuming normal operation from hibernation or standby mode takes a long time.
Solution: If the Ethernet port is enabled, but the port replicator is not connected to a LAN, resuming operation can take a long time. The computer queries the Ethernet until the timeout timer stops the query. If you want to access an Ethernet, connect the network cable. If you are not using the network, disable the Ethernet port as follows:
