Please help: Network settings won't save

[Knoj]

Durring the past month I have begun having problems with a laptop on my
home network. It has seemingly out of the blue decided it doesn't want to
save my networking settings.

About every other time I boot my laptop it "forgets" it is connected to a
network. I have to run the network setup wizard again. Once it completes, I
can connect to my broadband internet connection as well as my networked
printers and desktops.

Is there a setting in the registry or somewhere that I can set or turn on
so that after I boot my machine I don't have to run this wizard again and
again? Sometimes when I start my laptop all is fine and I have no network
problems, but the other times I have to use the wizard before connecting to
anything.

I'm at my wits end and about to go postal. So any help anyone could provide
will be appreciated.

Knoj,
If you have a wireless network, then it is the Zero Wireless service; this
service is flaky and you must restart the service in order to reestablish
your connection.
