1. Goto Network Connections, right click on your connection and select Properties.
2. Uncheck "Prompt for Name and Password" and click OK

You will now connect automatically as soon as you log on.

Sorry if it seems a bit pointless, I just found it to be a useful tip.

Well not exactly, from my limited experience I have concluded that for ethernet: Netsource no, IOL yes. Thus ends my survey.
