"repair" option network connection

Every time I power up XP, in order to go online, I need
to go to "network connections"->"view network
connections"->"repair" (right-click on specific
connection) in order to establish a connection.
Otherwise, it doesn't see the connection. There's an
article in the MS Knowledge Base #289256 that describes
what this option does.

My question is, is there any way to make this "repair"
option part of my standard startup so I don't need to
manually do this process every time I power up my PC?

Or, has anyone also experienced this problem and found a
way to avoid having to invoke "repair" every time?

Thanks!
Andy
 
You can take the commands as per #289256 and put it in a .cmd file. Then put
this .cmd file in your Startup folder.

IOW: repair.cmd:

ipconfig /renew
arp -d *
nbtstat -R
nbtstat -RR
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns

You don't even need to run all of the commands. Run each of the commands
manually from a command prompt and see which one is it that fixes your
problem. Then put only that one in your .cmd file.
 
Oops. Forgot the SP1 added:
"IEEE 802.1X Authentication Restart"

You can do this (well, close enough - technically you'll restart all of
Wireless Zero Config), in your .cmd file by doing:

net stop wzcsvc
net start wzcsvc
