    My PC is running Windows server 2003 but it also happens on my Windows Xp pro system. One system has netgear usb network, and the other has PCI linksys network card.

    My internet will be running great and everything working but when i log off or when the computer goes in LOCK MODE when I leave my desk and go for a few hours, and log back in...

    I will open up my internet explorer and the page will display INTERNET EXPLORER CANT OPEN THIS PAGE message. Ive tried browsing different sites but just wont work .

    I can still ping to my gateway , other computers, and ping to websites from the command line but from my browser it wont allow me.

    When i reboot my pc's then everything works just fine but i dont want to do this everytime.

    Ive tried to right click on my network to get repair option so it can restore DNS cache but that didnt work . Ive turned off my network software Netgear and turned it back on but didnt work. Ive unchecked my IP and turned it back on but that didnt work either.

    I would say that it is most likely that your PC has gone into hibernation and your network adapters are not compliant.

    Go into Device Manager and check the Power Settings for your NIC's and deselect 'Allow this computer to turn this device off to save power;.

    Yup, if that doesnt work then disable hibernation in power management.

    In power management select the 'Always on' scheme. If needed just configure the monitor to switch off after x minutes.
