Thank you for your help in this OK It turns out that only this one PC is affected by this issue.. I can go to others and they work fine.. even after changing to channel 6. its an HP Compaq nc4010 with a built in wireless nic... And as for manually entered SSID The SSID is entered and moved all the way up to the top of the prefered SSID list if thats what your refering too..
