Vista - Wireless broken when computer is locked

i am currently using a Sony VAIO, Vista business edition.
I noticed that whenever I lock by laptop, the wireless connection will drop
after sometime. I will need to re-establish the connection when i login to
the computer again. Another of my colleague has the same problem.

Has anyone encounter the same problem, is there a resolution to it?

When you said "whenever I lock by laptop", do you mean sleep mode? You may re-set power management. This search result may help,

Hi wayne,
I've got a similar problem, I'm using vista home premium in a private
wireless network with nothing else connected to this network at the moment,
but everytime I switch off the laptop or put it on sleep mode I loose the
wireless connection, and then like you I have to re-establish the connection
when I switch it on again, even 5 minutes later.
Any help will be appreciated

Carlos

When I lock my laptop, I mean leaving it ON and idle with power connected. I
had tried to reset the power management but it doesn't help.
