RE: About PC suspend mode
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.
I'm on: Twitter, Facebook, and Neowin

Those are just different names for the same.  ACPI mode S3, "suspend to RAM", is Windows "standby".  S4, "suspend to disk", is "hibernate".

O.P. RE: About PC suspend mode
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"?
