Hello,
I was having a ton of networking problems w/ one of my boxes, but I seemed
to have fixed it by unistalling and reistalling the driver for its wireless
card.
After reinstallation, I set up a new wireless connection per my networks
spects (SSID, WEP, blah blah blah). While reconfiguring it, I set it up to
connect to the network automatically; however, when the computer boots up
for the first time, I have to explicitly connect to the network before I can
ping another box on the LAN or Internet. After connecting explictly the
first time, everything works fine until it is rebooted.
The box is running Windows XP Home Ed; some screenshots of the configuration
dialogues can be seen at

Any ideas? TIA.
