I accidentaly hit the "sleep" button on my keyboard (didn't even know I had one) and my computer attempted to go into standby. Well, it just sort of froze the machine and I had to turn the computer off and restart.
Upon restarting my NIC isn't working. I've troubleshooted and the problem isn't with my router or network cable. The little light on the card isn't on any more either. I think I put the card to "sleep" when I went into standby and it hasn't woken up. My NIC is actually a Realtek integrated into my mobo.
Is there someway I can "wake" my NIC. Is that really the problem though?

Sounds like its something w/ the bios. I'd go into the bios setup and then disable it, restart, and enable it, that might fix it. Either that or uninstall/reinstall it in windows.
