Title: Broadband connection in Vista
Post by: tuftedduck on May 01, 2011, 08:42:57 AM

I hope some kind soul with a knowledge of Windows Vista can assist.

I told the tale of a friend who lost his BT Broadband connection in the thread http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,9154.0.html

His connection is now zipping along ok, but there is now a slight problem in that the connection is not being made automatically on boot-up.......he has to start the connection manually.

Can you remind me how he gets an auto. connection to start on boot...........TD did know, but the memory has failed him on this occasion... :-[

Thank you in advance.  :)

No wireless involved, razpag.

I recall that the way to go is somewhere in his IE options......just cannot remember where.. :(
