On my new Vista it doesn't connect after hibernation orsleep but needs a lot of coaxing from my side to connect to my Belkin wireless router which is on all the time. It doesn't matter if I switch from Wireless to Ethernet. What do I need to change? rainershanti (13382)

It's a known Vista bug, hopefully service pack one, coming to a windowsupdate site near you, in the near future, will fix this issue.

In the mean time, either turn it off completely or don't put it to sleep.

638195 2008-02-09 02:31:00 Hi there, thank you for the suggestions but even if I turn the computer completely off at restart it doesn't turn my internet connection on but suggests an unidentified network. I have to pull my network cable out twice before it recognises my belkin router.
Answer two: when I had my wireless connection on, this is exactly what I did, turning the wireless off and on but it is a nuisance. I want to be automatically connected the moment my computer is up and running

I can confirm that there is a fix for this issue already in Windows Vista SP1

SP1 will be released to MSDN and TechNet subscribers this week and will be available for public download next month
