Hello Gleb, please note, it's windows 2008, not windows8, not sure whether there's some significant difference, though.. > Disable device powersave: > - Control Panel -> Network & Internet -> Network Connections > - Right-click on desired interface, and select "Properties" > - Click the "Configure" button on the interface properties > - Under the "Advanced" tab, look for power-saving related options and > set to "Disabled" > - Under the "Power Management" tab, uncheck "Allow computer to turn off > this device to save power" > - Save & Reboot I forgot to mention that, I'm using virtio network driver, and it doesn't seem to support any power managemt (which is not surprising I guess) > > In addition: > - Control Panel -> Hardware & Sound -> Power Options there's no sound card there.. > - Select "High performance" done already. > - By the selected power profile, select "Change Plan Settings" > - In the "Edit Plan Settings", select "Change advanced power settings" > - See if there is something relevant to network connection there and if > yes change it to not sleep everything was already disabled... > - Save & Reboot maybe I should try using realtek network device instead of virtio?
