New question #79243 on Ubuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/79243

I have a BT router which services two desktops (wired) and a netbook (wireless). No problem with the connections until I upgraded my main desktop to 9.04. My netbook is on 8.10. Now my main desktop (the other is on Windows) loses the connection to the router when it is suspended and will only re-connect if the other desktop is in use ie. the router is active. The computer doesn't seem to prompt the router to activate. The router has an "ethernet" light which is on when the desktop computers are in use but now doesn't seem to respond to my main desktop at all. If I start up my main computer with the router switched on but the other desktop and/or the netbook off then no connection is made.
