Power Down - Lose Home Network Settings on Sony Vaio?

CRChrisElam · 06-06-2007, 08:31 PM

The strangest thing is happening on my Dad's Sony Vaio...

Every time the computer is fully powered down, the home network setup is reset. The computer is connected via Cat5 cable to a standard Linksys 802.11b router, and there haven't been any problems in the past. This is a very recent phenomenon.

Every time the computer turns back on, we have to run the Home / Small Office Network Connection wizard in order to connect to the internet.

Any help or ideas? And is this enough information to help diagnose the problem?

Did you try a system restore from before this happened?
