Finding PMS after sleep/wake

• OpenPHT embedded 1.6, Atom 330 w/ ION
• PMS 0.9.16.6

I like to use the sleep function on my mini pc PHT, as it boots rather slowly usually, and the boot time increased from 1.5.2 to 1.6. However, upon waking PHT would not connect to the PMS server for maybe a couple minutes, showing only two things: Watch Later, and Channels, but both of them empty. It will connect back to the PMS after a few minutes usually, or if I manually disable and re-enable the network interface (wired). Is there a setting somewhere that I can change so that it actively look for PMS when waking up?
