    Hey people.. how u doin?

    I'm back here at the forums with a new doubt..
    I got a new Vaio Z, 4GB RAM, 250 H-Drive, 2.4 Ghz processor, Vista Business and well..
    It has been working great.. I have no complains.. But one.. I hope u help me figure out what is going on..

    Sometimes when I turn on my computer, I start Windows and everything looks fine, but the thing is, I'm supposed to connect automatically to my internet signal.. But I don't!
    I check and it says I have my wireless on, but the little green light that indicates wireless is on, is always off when this happens, even when the switch is in "on"... Then I reboot my computer, it starts correctly, and gets connected automatically, with no problems..
    What can the problem be? Why is this happening?

    Please help..
    Thanks..

    Besides being MS Vista ......

    It sounds like you may have a service that is loading in a different order and the AP is not being turned on. If you look at the device manager is it normal?

    I would make sure you have all of the latest drivers and updates and see if that helps. Make sure you only use one Wireless manager, running 2 can cause many problems. Also check for BIOS updates. The problem may be at a lower level than the OS, hardware. BIOS updates normally fix these.
