Network connection

I just re-installed XP. The first thing I then did was get my network
connection going. I did that, but now, every time I reboot the computer it
doesn't connect to my router. I have to go into network connections. Disable
the connection which isn't even connected, and then repair the connection.
Then it connects and I can get online. I have to do this every time I reboot
the computer.

How can I make it connect automatically?
 
Did you visit Windows Update and get all the driver updates and patches for
your hardware?

Never get drivers from Windows Update. Only get drivers from:

1. The device mftr.'s website; OR
2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR
3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM
computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the
drivers.

To find out what hardware is in your computer:

1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer.
2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific
model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers
anyway)
3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc
Advisor. The older Aida32 is good for this, too.
