Keeps asking me to connect despite being wireless

Can any of you guys offer me your expert assistance?

I'm connected to Broadband via wireless card and BT Hub, but my computer keeps asking me to connect via dial up.

I've changed the default connection in the control panel/network connection path, (to deselect dial up), and also asked the computer to "never dial up" in the tools/internet options/connectivity menu.

The wireless is automatcally detected, and I appear to have a good signal.

The problem seems to reccur afterthe computer is switched off and then back on again. Reconfiguring the wireless connection using windows, seems to rectify things.

I've spoke to the best minds in India, who were very helpful, but after 5, hours , told me that they had exhausted all the options regarding the settings, and advised me to take the laptop back to the vendor.

Any suggestions before I make the trip back to Manchester?

thanks, G&Mrs G
