I also have a wireless stick to access the internet the modem is in another bedroom.
When I am on my computer I do not like to have the internet "on" all the time so I right click the icon in the tray and disconnect it. When I turn off my computer at night (the red x is on the computer icon in the tray) and turn it on in the morning it automatically connects to the internet. I did not have this happen when I had Windows XP.
Does anyone know how to turn this automatic thing off? I've been using Vista for a couple months and I am still not impressed (it came with my system)
Thanks for any/all help.
