You need to keep the laptop on while doing the switch. Switching off the laptop, doing the switch, and then turning it on again hoping that the switch will work probably won't do it. In other words, this should work: 1) Laptop on 2) Switch 3) Laptop off This probably won't work: 1) Laptop off 2) Switch 3) Laptop on 4) Switch 5) Switch 6) Laptop off The concept to keep in mind is that you need to keep power to the switching device at all times. So, turning off a computer while still switched to it will cut the power and sever the connection. Switching away from the computer before turning it off is probably a better strategy. > On Mon, 2 Dec 2013, Robert wrote: > > > To: noelle > > > > I just found out that my direct deposit request didn't go through. > > > > So, that's why I'm still getting paper checks.
