Wireless internet will not automatically connect

Question

Hello, Somehow a setting changed on my Inspiron E1505 and now when I start up the computer it will not automatically connect to the available wireless internet in my home as it once did before. To turn the internet on I must follow these steps: StartRun - type in Services.MSC, hit OKHighlight Wireless Zero Config, hit startRight Click on the Wireless Computer Icon in the lower right hand corner of screenOpen Network ConnectionsRight Click the Wireless option, hit PropertiesChoose the middle Wireless Networks TabCheck the Use Windows to Configure My Wireless Network Settings box Then the internet will finally come on.  I must do this after each time the computer has gone into standby or been turned off for the wireless internet to come on.   Any suggestions on what I can do to have the laptop connect to the internet as it should upon start up?   Thanks!Samantha :)

Samantha,

Start, run, type services.msc. Make sure the DHCP Client is set for automatic, restart the service. Also make sure that Wireless Zeron Config is set for automatic, then restart the service.

Click on start, control panel, network and sharing center. Click on view statis, wireless properties. Check the box that says... Connect automatically when this network is in range.

Restart your computer.

What happens?
