I have Vista, DSL, and a laptop. If I open Mobility Center with the Start
menu there is no "connection tile" there. So in order to connect I have to
right-click the taskbar icon, click on "connect to network" in the bubble,
go to "Wireless" where I get the error that the "network cannot be found". I
have to go through diagnose, repair, and resolution process, then the
connection opens.

I am currently connected (now using pc for this) and when I just now went to
mobility center through the start menu the connection tile was there
again -- but when I need it to connect it is never there.

I am confused and new to broadband. When the techie set it up it worked
straightforward so I haven't a clue what happened to mess it up. I am not
even sure when the connection tile is/isn't supposed to appear in mobility
center. I would like to configure it as it should be, so it will connect
automatically at bootup when at home, and have the ability to switch the
automatic connection on/off when I go out in public.

I am savvy enough to fix it if told what I need to do. Help would be greatly
appreciated.
