I have the lid closing do nothing, it's always been far too fickle for me - and sometimes I just want to not look at the screen! I use Swoff to force hibernation, when necessary.

I'm from Sweden, and I don't know the word for that. You'll understand) and open it later the program Mobile Connect says "Wireless drive not found". It also says that when I have'nt used the Internet in a while, for example when I write in Zoho or OpenOffice, or play a flashgame on a site. I hope you understand!

One thing to add though: Some BIOS have an option to "wake up on keyboard". I would pull my laptop out of my bookbag and find it hot enough to cook an egg (love that expression!), and none of those issues above were the problem. Here the slight shock of the laptop bouncing in the bookbag caused a key to be pushed just enough to wake it up. After disabling this feature, I no longer have had any problems. Very nice!
