    Everytime I boot OSX Lion it 'forgets' to log in automatically to my network annd I have to do so manually by selecting my network in Airport.

    I didn't have this problem in Leopard. Anyone else have this issue?

    This is a very common issue with Lion. I experience it regularly on my fairly new MacBook Air that came pre-installed with Lion. I sometimes have to turn WiFi off/on to find my network again.

    It's possibly an issue on my MBP as well, but I don't know because it refuses to sleep at all due to the Internet sharing bug in Lion.

    I had these issues too. Funnily enough my apple tv home sharing flakiness, no AirPrint, etc all went when I bought an airport extreme. It's ludicrous I know but it has solved several problems. Now my hp printer, apple tv, mac mini and iPhone 4 all work with all the functionality without problems caused by one of them sleeping and not refinding the network on wake

    Never had the issue myself. Two machines with upgrade installs from 10.6 to 10.7! I must be very lucky as neither machine has given me any of the usual Lion related issues I keep seeing.

    Internet sharing, Sad Professor!?! No router?

    Happens to me randomly in 10.6.8 as well, but it's only a minor bugger.

    I fixed it on mine by deleting all my airport keychains.

    I had the same problem. It seemed to disappear when I changed the channel my router was broadcasting on.

    I do have a router, but I share my MBP's internet connection to a WDTV over ethernet.

    Anyway, I have still have this problem with my MBA and it is starting to drive me insane.

    Having the problem with my iMac, not having it with my Macbook. It's annoying.

    I deleted the Wi-Fi service and set up a new one with a manual IP and the problem seems to have gone away.
