Call me a newb for asking this, but where do I enable suspend mode? I'm searching through my power settings and I only see hibernate and standby modes.

Those are just different names for the same. ACPI mode S3, "suspend to RAM", is Windows "standby". S4, "suspend to disk", is "hibernate".
If going to suspend mode still d/c my internet, what was the point of going to my network config. and unticking the "Allow this computer to turn off this device to save power"?

Wait im confused. But the thing I unticked was my network card. So that means if the network card doesnt turn off when comp goes into suspend mode, wont it not d/c the internet then?
