   I already tried resetting without changing mac, it does not work.   
      
   Lately When I exit sleep mode on the laptop, and previously had   
   disconnected the connection to the ISP, I see the connection as been made   
   immediately after I exit sleep mode. Can they download data when the   
   computer is at sleep and the connection has been terminated? Did not   
   think that was possible. Lately I have resorted to d/c the cable so it's   
   impossible to activate a connection while the computer is at sleep.   
      
   The way I know it's a firewall block is because firewall blocks act   
   IMMEDIATELY. You can tell that the blockage is immediate/fast, indicates   
   a firewall block by ruleset.
