Several days ago, Vista suddenly stopped "remembering" my network
connection. Each time I want to connect I am asked to enter the network
password. While connected, my network is visible in the Network and
Sharing Center but, as soon as there is a disconnect the network
disappears and nothing is visible. While visible it shows as a Public
network and reading some knowledge base docs indicates that might be the
problem and suggests renaming it as a home network. Unfortunately, no
matter how I approach the network settings I cannot find the dialogue
box that allows that.

It seems that something has been corrupted. I have scanned my system
with Comodo but nothing was found. I would appreciate it if someone
could point me in the right direction, I sincerely miss the auto connect
option.

BTW,each time I am requested to sign in and am connected I check the
"remember this.... and auto connect" boxes but VISTA does not remember.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Two different approaches:
1.- CBFF (Carlos Brute Force Fix). Do a system restore to a date when
everything was Ok. That should fix it.
2.- If you feel like investigating, when viewing the Network and Sharing
Center click on the "Public" icon (not the one in the upper map but the one
below) and change it to Workgroup or Home. I prefer workgroup.
I am at an XP machine now so I can't exactly describe item #2.
