I'm connecting to the internet via a wireless access point in my building, and it requires a login. This is fine, but the annoying thing is that whenever I put my computer to sleep for more than about ten minutes, it asks me for the login when I awaken it. Is there anything I can do to automate this?

Are your Airport settings set to join a "Specific Network"?

They weren't, but now they are, and I'm still having teh same problem .

The specific network thing isn't asking me for a password or anything. Is there anywhere to store my username and password...?

Hmm, if you choose "Join a Specific Network by Default"...you should be prompted to enter the name of the access point AND the password for the access point. You don't see that?

I briefly saw a spot for the password, but it dissapeared when I selected "AirBears" as my network. It must not think I need a password...

...and not only do I need a password, but I need a username. It isn't just normal network login protocol...it's Vernier secure login.

Oh gotcha...hmm, I'm not sure if you can do anything to automate this process as it's a "secure" setting. The only thing I suggest is adjust your "Energy Saver/Sleep" settings to something a little longer if possible...
