Vista - Connect to Wireless Network automatically

Hello all,

I have recently installed Windows Vista RC1 on my IBM Thinkpad laptop, and
have established an ad-hoc wireless networking connection between my laptop
and my home PC. The network functions perfectly, except I must manually
reconnect everytime I restart Windows, whereas in Windows XP it would connect
to the preferred network automatically.

Is there any way I can set Windows Vista to connect to the network
automatically on startup?

Thanks in advance,

Michael.

Open Network & Sharing centre, click View Status of connection, then select
Wireless Properties. Select "Connect Automatically when this network is in
range". That should sort it out!
Regards,
Mike L
