Automatic connect to network
Hello.
I just received a Lenovo Ideapad Y430 and everything is working ok-I'm really happy with the notebook. However, I have one issue that is mildly frustrating. Although I have selected to connect automatically when my network is in range and to connect even if the network is not broadcasting (both in Wireless Network Properties), these selected settings do not save if my system goes into sleep mode or it is turned off. When I wake the machine up or turn it on, I have to manually connect to my network. Ideas, anyone? Thx mitch

If so, you might have to configure it. For example, my Lenovo Thinkpad X61 has a utility called "Access Connections" in Start All Programs ThinkVantage. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

In fact, there is a Lenovo utility called ReadyComm 4.0 in which you can access an item called Search WLAN. There, you can set up an automatic connection to any network in range. The interesting thing is, if you select automatic connect in Window's network properties, it still won't save. In any case, setting up the Search WLAN utility worked. I rebooted and my system connected automatically. Thx for the tip!! mitch
