Hi :) when I first turn my laptop on, I can connect to the internet and browse as normal. However if I send the laptop to sleep by just shutting it, on reopening I cannot browse the internet. Whilst the wifi is described as 'connected' with an excellent signal strength, no web pages will open and nothing that needs a connection will work. I have to restart the laptop to make it work. This is a brand new Acer Aspire and I'm using windows 8.

Jump to PostHow are you connecting to the internet? Via WiFi? Is the access-point you are connected to when you sleep the system the same as when you wake it up? Also, what operating system are you using - Windows XP, Windows 7, Linux, other?
Jump to PostRemove ALL the stored wireless network profiles, it's still remembering the WPA key and trying to use that. When you search for the network after the profiles are gone, it'll ask for the WEP key.
