What does your cable modem have to do with you OS going to sleep? Are you connecting the modem to the PC via an Ethernet cable? Or is your modem USB based or something?

It's connected via USB. This is the model I have. It's ancient.

Cable Modem Support / Toshiba Modems

I've never had any problems with it until I bought my new PC. I only lose the data signal when the PC goes into the low power/sleep mode. It's a mystery.

did you check advanced power settings? because there are usb settings in there that might be messing with your modem.

another option, of course, is a new modem, but that's not free :/.

Unless you unplug the modem, call your ISP and tell them that everything is plugged in and turned on but there are no blinking lights...
