No I would never do that - I'd have to reboot. Thinking about it, it
may be when I leave the lappy closed for a long time and the lease has
expired? I've now changed my router so that static IP addresses are
given out for the MAC addresses

Well I could perhaps disable the ability to hibernate, but I've just
done what they suggest on google. On the power tab, and ensured that
switching the computer off is associated with "shut down", although I
would prefer to do it manually
