Lose Network after Standby | Hibernation

[Eric Beck]

Network connection works fine on boot up, using Compaq Presario running XP
Home SP2 with wireless connection to a wireless router connected to cable
modem, but when the laptop goes into standby or hibernation and I wake it
up, the network connections don't work. Another PC that is hard wired to
router never has this issue. Doing an "ipconfig /all" displays the same
information before and after the problem starts, and doing an "ipconfig
/release", "ipconfig /renew" doesn't correct either, only a reboot seem to
correct connectivity.

Any ideas on how to correct this?
