Cannot Enable Local Area Connection After Placing Computer in Hibernate Mode

If your Windows 2000-based computer is configured with a 16-bit multiple-function PC Card adapter and placed in Hibernate mode after you disable the local area connection, the connection may not be re-enabled after you reinitialize the computer.

After you bring the computer out of Hibernate mode and then select the local area connection to re-enable it, you may see a dialog box that states "Enabling..." but then changes to "Connection Failed!" and closes.
