The way to fix this is to change the power management settings on your network adapter card to allow the LAN to bring the computer out of standby and to disable the power save feature to the network card.
You can do all of this under "preferences" on the device itself, which in your control panel, under hardware manager. Open system in the control panel and then go to your hardware manager. It lists all the devices connected to your computer. Find your network adapter card and choose preferences and click on the tabs across the top until you find the power save feature and check or uncheck the box to disable it.
The instructions above are for a computer running Windows XP. If you are running anything else, getting to the appropriate area may be different. If this is the case, go back to your original post on Fixya and use the "comment" or "reply" button and let me know. I will look up the instructions for accessing the adapter for your operating system and get back to your promptly with how to change the settings as noted above.
