On sleeps mode the power button blinks. When I shut down the PC the light on the button is off, and when the PC is running the light is always on.

When you put your pc into a sleep mode, and you leave your cable modem or dsl modem on, you will lose connection to the net when you bring the pc out of sleep mode.
