 Settings not staying after restart I have a new HP laptop and want to connect it to my home wireless network using a linksys 54g router with WPA2-PSK AES security. I've setup the computer and it connects and works perfectly. I start it up later and I have to change all the settings again to get it to connect. Why does it keep doing this?  |
