Wireless Internet Problem

Dec 7th, 2006

Hello, I have a problem when I first turn on my computer, my wireless internet doesn't connect automatically but has a little icon that looks like this: :!: over the tiny computer connection icon. I then have to right click on it and press repair to get it to connect. Is there a way where I can get it to connect automatically without me having to repair it everytime I have to reboot? Thanks and I hope I have described the situation well enough.

Please give us a few more details to work with:

* The make/model of computer and wireless card.
* The version of Windows.
* The make/model of the wireless router/access point/whatever that the wifi card is connecting to.
* What kind of wireless security (WEP, WPA, etc.), if any, you are using.
* Whether you are letting Windows handle the wifi card's configuration or are using the configuration utility software supplied with the wifi card.
* Whether the wifi card is configured to obtain your TCP/IP info (IP address, subnet mask, gateway IP, etc.) automatically via DHCP, or has been manually configured with that info.

Please do not contact me by email or PM for help. We're all volunteers here, and only have so much free time to dedicate to our efforts.

However, if I've been working on a thread with you already, and seem to have "forgotten" your thread, please do send me a message. I try not to let things slip through the cracks, but it does happen sometimes.
