Internet disconnect after computer sleep mode

I have a WN2000RPT which has a good connection with internet access. All is well until I step away from the computer for several hours and the computer goes into sleep or standby mode. Upon returning to the computer which than "wakes up" I show a good wireless connection but no Internet access. I have to go unplug the WN2000RPT it reboots and all is well I have good connection with Internet access. Nothing else seems to work. Any thoughts on what is happening? Any corrective measures? Thanks Kurt

  • change the power management settings for the network adapter on your pc settings
  • Hi, I did uncheck the box allowing the computer to save power by turning off the wireless devise. Unfortunately the problem continues.
