Same user on two Macs, one goes to sleep causes the other to loose Internet connectivity

This is probably the weirdest thing that happened to me with computers (and I've beed playing with Windows ME some time before).

Two macs, iMac and MacBook Pro. Logged in to the same account on both (same Apple ID and username). When MBP screen goes to sleep (power adapter connected) iMac looses Internet connectivity.

Both Macs on the same, latest version of OS X Yosemite.

I don't make this up, this is real. What is going on? Anyone?

MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10), with iMac 27", late (2012)

After reading this post: OSX Yosemite Wifi issues I tried the trick with Keychain and it works. Seems that iCloud keychain is not always a good idea.

Keychain Access -> System -> Passwords -> WIFI name (Open) -> Access control -> Allow all applications to access this item.
