Router not connecting automatically?
Hi I have a Belkin router and wireless utility. If I use my PS3 the wireless/internet is always fine. However if (unless I haven't been using the PS3) I switch the PC on, I always have to go to 192.168.2.1 and click 'connect' before accessing the net. Is there anyway of tweaking this so it connects automatically? Cheers
