Network connection stops when PC goes to sleep

E

I just bought a Compaq Presario with Vista preinstalled. I bought a USB
wireless network adapter. Installation went fine and I can connect to the
network and Internet, except after the computer goes to sleep. When I wake
the PC up, it cannot connect to the wireless router unless I physically
disconnect and reconnect the adapter. After talking to the adapter OEM and
troubleshooting, we determined that the adapter is OK. Compaq says that I
have to wait until Jan. '08 to get the first service pack that MAY fix this
problem. Not the answer I wanted hear! I don't want to keep having the
unglug the adapter. Is there some fix to this problem?

Having the same type of problem. The check box for file and print sharing
gets unchecked each time I reboot either computer on my network. Rechecking
the box "file and print sharing" solves the problem. But, what a pain!
