I've had this problem too, on a home network, and one of the many posts on
this subject (can't find it right now) worked for me. Basically it said to go
into Power Options from the Control Panel, then 'edit plan settings', then
'change advanced power settings'. Expand 'multimedia settings' and make sure
that under 'When sharing media' it says 'allow the computer to sleep'.
May not work for everyone, but it did for me.
