The first thing to look at is the network adapter's power management
properties. Find the NIC's entry in Device Manager and double-click it
to get Properties. Click on the Power Management tab and uncheck the
box that says "allow Windows to turn off this device when not in use".

If that box is already unchecked, try updating the NIC drivers.

Never get drivers from Windows Update. Get them from:

1. The card mftr.'s website; OR
2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if onboard video; OR
3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM
computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the
drivers.
