Every time I boot up or restart, I have to go into my Network Connections and
enable the Local Area Connection.  How can I keep this from disabling every
time the computer shuts down or restarts?

Is this connected by an USB cable instead of wireless or Ethernet cable? If
so, I've seen this and I don't know how to fix it.

Although now that I think about it, I often use a shortcut to the network
connection to enable the connection. Placing this shortcut in the startup
folder might just work fine.
