Previously I had to run "vagrant reload" each time my ubuntu15 host went to sleep. The following post resolved this issue for me:
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/13873Here are the steps:
sudo vim /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
(then add the following to the bottom of the file; "i" starts insert mode in vim)
[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=interface-name:vboxnet0
(use ":wq!" to write and quit the editor)
I reloaded the VM one more time and after that my connection persisted even after my computer went to sleep.
