It could be your ethernet driver does not properly store it's state on a
suspend.  For those interested there is some information in pm.txt found
in the kernel documentation.  Like I said previously, suspending and
hibernating in linux are rather new and probably will not work like
their Windows counterparts.  

David, I don't understand how your connection to the internet doesn't
get interrupted but the connection to your LAN does.  Do you have two
NICs?  Private IP, static IP?  What are the details?
