Hello all, 
 
I recently got an HP laptop (ZE2113US) and am having a bit of an issue with the wireless. It works wonderfully, until I lock the system, at which point the wireless shuts off. When I unlock the system, after a few seconds it goes back on. Is there any way to keep the wireless enabled even when the system is locked? (it's rather annoying to get half way through a 600 Meg download, lock the system to go for a smoke, and come back to discover the download died :P) I'm not really sure if this is a windows thing, or an HP thing, but I'm inclined to believe it's HP, since I have never experienced this problem on other wireless systems. 
 
System specs: 
Win XP Home 
Wireless: Unknown internal 54g device, uses a Broadcom driver 
 
Other specs:

Thanks everyone for any input you may have :)

PS I'm sorry if this should go somewhere else, but I don't think this is a windows question, I figured this was probably best :)

Wireless disables when system is locked

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.
