As in you have to type in your connection details and password each time you turn on the machine? After you enter the info it should automatically set to that connection as default. What Os are you using?

Windows XP or Vista?

There SHOULD be an option to "automaticilly connect to this network" somewhere.
There may be a compaq utility preinstalled that you also need to configure, similiar to here:
