    I'm guessing you're running windows 7 as it gives that lovely infographic of the network layout.

    Down the bottom right beside the time you should see a wireless icon (looks like a volume level icon). Click on that and then click on your connection. As far as I know there should be a checkbox to automatically connect whenever you power up your laptop.

    had a friend who had a problem similar to this ie: would lose internet wilst playing online,he rang his provider &in short it was because he kept turning his broadband box on & off,he's left it on since&hasnt had a problem
    as post above there is a "connect auotmaticaly" tick box when you chose network
