After Lion upgrade, having network issues after wake from sleep

After upgrading to Lion from 10.6.8 on my MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011), I am unable to connect to the Internet after the computer wakes from sleep. I should rephrase this - I am able to ping IP's and DNS (DNS servers are present) however none of my apps will connect (Safari, iChat, etc) -> they all indicate the Internet is unavailable. I have two Airport Express's running 7.5.2 extending a WiFi network off an Airport Extreme running 7.5.2. This issue is specific to waking from sleep. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appriciated.

Mac OS X (10.7)

Its a configuration problem only in the sense that Lion will not configure the Time Capsule. It does not like it being conncted. It was configured and working fine under SL but once the upgrade to Lion was done Time Capsule was not liked and it knocked out the network not letting anything connect to it. Lion has something in it that does not like the network and USB drives connected to the network. The former is cured by not putting power to Time Capsule, the latter is a continuing problem as previously described. Works well if I do not plug anything in!

I updated to 10.7.1 too. It's worse now. I had to boot into my Snow Leopard backup to post this. Good thing I am cautious.

Before I could turn wifi off and then on and the internet would work again. No such luck now.

Now even after a re-boot I can't get online.

I even made sure to put back the previous (original) DNSresponder.plist just to be safe before the update.
