I have two imacs here running 10.7.4 set to auto login with a standard user account. They have been paired with the wifi here which has a password and broadcasts its ssid.

For some reason, they refuse to auto connect to the airport when booted up. When clicking on the airport in the list, they immediately connect. (do not prompt for password) The airport is the only one in the airport adapter's wifi remembered networks list. The next time they are turned on, same problem again, won't auto connect to the airport. They also don't present a dialog box offering to connect to a wifi.

Any ideas?
