You did not identify your system, but I suspect the ethernet card is sleeping or in low power mode

 

Bring up the device manager network page

Find the ethernet adapter that has the problem

 

Set "energy efficient:" to disabled

In power management (an adapter setting) uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off the device to save power.

 

There may be other settings but I need to know the model or the Product ID

If the above does not help then you need to use hibernate instead of sleep.
