Can any of you techy types on here help ?

My hub no longer connects me automatically to the internet when I switch on the PC.

I have to go in to the control panel and network and sharing options to connect manually to the net

Have spoken to BT and they cannot help or maybe do not understand

Wolf I cant help you because im not very technical but I think when this happened to me it was something to do with proxy settings.

tools- internet options - connections

maybe someone can help you from there

Is it wifi? Your wifi settings may have a check box 'connect automatically to this router if available' or similar.

Thx for replies.

I downloaded something to do with O2 broadband the other day and this could be the problem

I have now shut down the wi fi connection manager so will see if this does the trick

What operating system are you using?

If it's to do with the O2 download doing a restore should solve it.

If you have 2 or 3 days to spare, why not ring the BT helpline.

Sad

Well just try uninstalling it? Having more than one wifi controlling software might certainly cause issues.
I know on a relations computer it had two and it kept making the correct one drop the connection.
It sounds like it's not BTs problem.

It may well be the O2 broadband is now the (unworking) default internet connection or something.
