System doesn't keep the wireless settings
Every time I boot, I have to activate network interface and type password to connect with wifi. Why it doesn't "remember" these settings and information and I have always to do this work?

Tomorrow I came to the parental home and I couldn't connect all day. Neither ethernet nor wifi. It got me a "network fail" message. I did a fresh install of OS and the problem remained. Now I connect normally.
In the past (on Ubuntu) I had problems of delaying until being connected every time I was moving to another house, too. But I find it strange that the yesterday's problem remained after re-installing OS.

At this moment I can't connect with ethernet, I get the message:
I can't connect with laptop wireless too:
I connect only with a usb wireless adaptor.
Code: Select all
failed to connect to wired network eth0
the network does exist, however failed to negotiate with the dhcp server
is there a wireless interface? -- maybe try that
Code: Select all
fail to activate interface eth1
sometimes this is just a temporary problem
go back to the main window and you can try again

At Network Information => Wireless:
Code: Select all
Wireless configuration:
No wireless extensions detected.
Use the Internet Cnxn Manager in MENU. Having both eth0 and wlan0 cnxns is problematic in some distros like Slacko5.7. For eth0 use SNS, for wlan0 Frisbee. One of the problems is puppy's INSISTANCE on a cnxn at boot-up. This spawns all problems IMHO because the last cnxn used is reconnected, or attempted regardless of end-user wishes. Rather condescending and unnecessisary. There should be a flag for reboots during updates/repairs to allow autoconnect. The default should be no cnxn.
