Hi Phil, Can you describe what you're using for your Wi-Fi network? What model server, and protocol? (8.0211N or G, WPA or WEP encryptions, etc.)? I don't have an iMac, and probably someone else will be able to answer this, but that's the kind of information that will help to troubleshoot.
I did read earlier in the year that some iMac users had a problem with an AirPort update (Apple's wireless network software) that produced the symptoms you described. In some cases using the power button instead of pressing a key to wake from sleep (not reboot) worked for some people. HTH.
