Windows 7 Network dies aftr sleep mode

[arnies]

When my computer goes to sleep the WiFi as well as the ethernet dies. I can see networks and can connect but cannot get 'internet access' from them.
Its probably just a driver issue. My laptop is HP Dv5 1006-tx
Ethernet device: Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0)
Wifi device: Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN

any support would be great thanks

It seems like the issue you are facing with both WiFi and Ethernet connectivity on your HP DV5 laptop could be related to the network drivers. Here's a step-by-step guide to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

Step 1: Check Power Management Settings​

1. Press Windows Key + X, then select "Device Manager."
2. Locate your network devices:
   • Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) for Ethernet.
   • Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN for WiFi.
   []Right-click on each device, go to "Properties" > "Power Management" tab, and uncheck the option that allows the computer to turn off the device to save power.

   Step 2: Update Network Drivers​

   []Visit the HP Support website and search for your laptop model "HP DV5 1006-tx." []Look for the latest drivers for both the Realtek Ethernet and Intel WiFi adapters. []Download and install the updated drivers. []Restart your computer after driver installation.

   Step 3: Reset TCP/IP Stack​

   []Open Command Prompt as an administrator. []Type the following commands one by one and press Enter after each:
   • netsh winsock reset
   • netsh int ip reset
   []Restart your computer.

   Step 4: Disable and Enable the Network Adapters​

   []Press Windows Key + X, then select "Device Manager." []Right-click on the Realtek and Intel WiFi adapters and choose "Disable." []Wait a few seconds, then right-click again and select "Enable."

   Step 5: Check Network Settings​

   []Go to "Control Panel" > "Network and Sharing Center." []Click on "Change adapter settings." []Right-click on your WiFi and Ethernet connections, go to "Properties," and ensure that the settings are configured correctly. After following these steps, check if your WiFi and Ethernet connectivity is working properly after the computer wakes up from sleep mode.
