Every time I restart my computer, I have no Internet Connection. I am using an LAN connection, and I've found out that I can disable the connection, then re-enable it, and it will wearch for the new Network Address..
I was wondering why it does this, can anyone tell me what settings to change for my internet to automatically connect when my computer starts..
TYVM.

Unfortunately I'm using Vista so I can't 100% answer your question. However I have an alternative solution: how about not restarting your computer at all? You can achieve this by using XP's Hibernate feature. I wrote about it here:

Hi there,
I think most of the internet settings can be adjusted by visiting start-control panel-network connections or network set up wizard.
Hope this works for you.
Thanks

Control Panel -> Network Connections
- it should now list all of your networking connections, one of which should be "Local Area Connection." Make sure that your "Local Area Connection" is enabled. If it isn't, right-click on the icon, and go to enable.
Another trick to try:
- go to Start->Run
- enter in "cmd" and hit OK
- when you see the DOS promopt, enter in "ipconfig /release" (enter) followed by "ipconfig /renew" (enter)

How do you connect to the internet ? Do you have a modem / router ? Most likely you don't have what is called a static IP and everytime you connect you are assigned a new IP address . I am not positive but if you were to start the DHCP service automatically everytime you switch on the computer , it will connect automatically .
Go to control panel > administrative tools > services and put DHCP to start automatically .
