1. Having a computer "sleep" means to stop all program execution, but keep everything in memory so it can be started again pretty fast. (OK, this is an oversimplification). So keeping it connected would require not going to sleep. You can always set the power settings to power off the screen but keep everything else running. 2. I once made the modification to automatically reconnect when coming back from sleep or hibernation, but I gave up on Vista and don't have it accessible to verify.
