Booting to windows makes Internet not work


My computer has a dual-boot between Archlinux Multilib and Windows 7 Multilib.
A common practice for me is to put Archlinux into hibernate for a while when I want to play a game on Windows. But I notice that when I boot back to Linux, my internet isn't that great, and quickly deteriorates to nonexistence. Does anyone know what causes this and if so, how do I fix it?

Also, my network card is Realtek RTL8111/8168 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller.

For a test, try shutting down Arch before booting over to Windows, then restarting Arch with a clean boot to see whether that makes a difference.
