i wasn't sure where to put this in the software or hardware threads. But i've been having this problem that i haven't been able to figure out.

The other day i put my vista pc into sleep, that was actually the first time i've ever used sleep before i always shut down and start up than leave my computer on or putting into sleep. But anyways i put it into sleep, woke it up and my lan cards no longer work. (thank god i have a wireless card thats working). They show that cable still pluged in but they can't get a connection.
i also installed xp back on to my computer today and they still won't work, even after a complete os reinstall. I just don't understand what the heck happen.

if you have any clues on whats up, i would greatly appreciate it.
wireless is ok when your only a few feet away from the router but i would rather be pluged in.

Poor man's solution:

After awaking the system, go to device manager, click on Network Adapters, then highlight the LAN card that is still asleep. Then right click and select disable. Wait a sec, then right click and enable. Let me know if this works for you. Not eligant but gets the job done!
