Is there a way to make Vista Home Premium remember network passwords so I do
not have to re-enter them every time I re-start my computer. I have tried
checking the remember password option but it does not do anything.

Simply want to maintain a network connection to 2 computers and a shared
printer on a home network. Please don't tell me that Vista Home Premium
doesn't remember network passwords and Vista Business and Ultimate do!

I don't have this problem!! I have a home network with several computers
running XP, Vista and Win7. They all restart with access to the Internet and
my e-mail. Doesn't the password/user id get saved in the router/modem?? I
have a DSL modem and a netgear router.

What you say is true for someone who has a router, but maybe the OP
doesn't. He seems to imply only one computer.

Of course, I've used a router for so long that I have absolutely no
recollection about how to set up an automatic logon via software, only that
is probably possible.

Actually, there is no problem with getting online etc... It's only
connecting to network shares that the user / password doesn't cache - Tom

I find the same thing with Vista Home Premium when I go to my NAS which
can't store the special characters in my strong user passwords so I have
to use simpler passwords for that device and thus need to logon. The
password is remembered only until the next boot of the PC, an annoyance
for scheduled backups to the NAS.
If you can use the same usernames and passwords on all machines then of
course there is no need to logon as the credentials match.

I seem to have misinterpreted your OP. Sorry.

It was my first mistake this year, as far as I can remember :-)
