Possible solution to well-known problem

I posted here some weeks ago about my new laptop losing its internet connection when resuming from Standby. I tried numerous methods to solve this and hit upon the following.
When computer wakes, log onto an account that has Admin rights. Keep your original account active by simply switching user.
The network will be found in the Admin account.
Log off the Admin account and switch to the original account - the network will be (hopefully) back to normal.
I originally tried disabling the power option for the wireless adapter as many experts suggest and that didn't work. It did work on my older machines though - strange!
