    Unable to connect to Wireless Network after Sleep/Hibernate

    I am running Windows Vista on a newly purchased HP laptop that has inbuilt wireless connectivity. I can establish a wireless network with the linksys router that I have without any problems. The issue is that if I am hibernating the computer or use the sleep option then after starting up, it is not able to find any wireless networks and hence will not connect. When I shutdown and restart then it will detect wireless networks again and connects automatically to my default network that I am using. Can anyone tell me how to solve this issue? Thanks.

    Even I was having the same problem, but now I have solved it. You just need to get into properties on the Power Management tab and then uncheck "Allow this computer to turn of this device to save power" and then click ok. Now it will be working fine for you because it was fine for me atleast. This problem happens because Vista disables the adapter somehow and doesnt turn it back on until you disable or re-enable the adapter.

    Alright, I have changed the power settings to not turn off the wireless adapter and I have also disabled the IPv6 but sometimes it will work and other times it wont work at all? Today it started properly after Sleep mode but then it got disconnected after 25 minutes all of a sudden. Does anyone has any other solution. Thanks

    It could be that the default gateway setting is lost when you wake a Windows Vista-based computer from sleep. After you wake the computer from sleep, the DHCP Client service (Dhcpcsvc.dll) is responsible for informing the IP stack about the routing information. The routing information is stored in the network store interface. This problem occurs when the network store interface already has the routing information that the DHCP Client service wants to store.
