Coming out of hibernation = loss of Internet

Wired (desktop) internet connectivity is fine after reboot or startup in windows 7. However, after such a session, when I am coming out of hibernation, the tray icon shows connectivity to be fine, but the browser, email client & others say NO! Does anyone have any ideas as to the solution. I have tried 2 things: unhooking the Ethernet adapter from powering down during sleep/hibernation: didn't work. Another thing I have tried is after resuming from hibernation, I have tried successive disabling then re-enabling the connection. Didn't help either. One odd thing: going to Network & Sharing Center, then click on the Local Area Connection to get the Status, it does show a few packets sent & received & a small amount of activity! Another oddity: if either I shut down or restart from one of these disconnected sessions, after the process is committed, I see a tray icon that depends upon the internet showing some normal activity, while before it just says "connecting ", which means it ISN'T CONNECTED!

 

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I have tried that remedy already, but it did not work!
