RE: Internet sharing stops when computer is left on standby
I was talking to felu yesterday, and here's what I got out of him

Topology: ADSL modem connected via USB to computer with problem, and CAT5 to another computer without problems.

The computer connected via USB completely loses all data transfer after an amount of time, while the LAN connection continues to function. This occurs even when the LAN computer is off (although some computers continue to power the NIC to some degree even with the power off)

ipconfig /release and /renew have no effect
The driver for the connection was re-installed to the T
resetting the modem fixes the problem

I suggested that the problem might be with the modem, as it was working before.
My guess is that the modem doesn't like having both the LAN and USB connected at the same time, and also suggested in investing in a router.
