Does the problem go away when you change all sleep settings to "never"? Does
it still appear to sleep even when you have it set to "never"? There could
be an issue if the powerbook only stays open too close to the automatic
"sleep" position. You may also want to reset the power manager, boot into OS
9 and re-set the power management settings.

If none of the above are the case, there is likely a network configuration
problem.
