Thanks, I tried that today but it didn't solve the problem for me. However
after waking up the computer I now go into device manager and disable the
active built in ethernet card and then re-enable it and I get internet
service again.

So now I've just got a shortcut on my desktop to the device manager and use
it to disable and enable the built in ethernet card after waking my computer
up each time.

Thanks for your time.
