Page 1 of how do I stop PC asking to connect to wireless every odd time I switch on?

this pc is linked via a wireless router. Since being encrypted it is asking me to locate a suitable network (but only one is available-mine) so I have to click on connect. Of course only hassle is about 20 seconds but never use to do it. Can I get the pc to remain cnnected onto my network and not search virtually every odd time i switch it on?

My laptop is also linked wirelessly but it doesn`t have the same problem. Both running XP.

Thanks

Hi

if you`re using the windows built in wireless config, then there`s a tick box
to ensure you always connect to your designated preffered wireless network.

........is that gasoline i smell?

It can sometimes get confused. Get the occasional student laptop doing this. Easiest fix is to delete the connection and re-add it. Takes about 30 seconds.

thanks
