staying connected

Helping my sister connect her inspiron 1200 notebook to her cable modem wirelessly.  She has her Dimension 8400 wired to her linksys WKPC54G router.  This router came with a card we inserted in the notebook.  Set up security and everything works fine.  Problem is when she shuts down the laptop she looses the connection and has to go throught he process of finding the connection.  Is there a setting some where we are misssing?  Thank you.

    It would be helpful to get a better description of the problem.  Do you mean that when you completely shut off the computer and restart there is no connectivity or do you mean if you go to standby and come back out that there is no connectivity?  Exactly what process does she have to through to get the connection back?

    Thanks for the reply.  Standby or shut down, either way she is disconnected.  I am not sure what she has to do, but I think she has to click on her icon at the lower right of the screen,  and have it search for her connection again.  Sorry but I am trying to help[ her long distance.
