However, many times, the computers do NOT connect to the internet. We have to bring up the Network and Sharing Center, then, click the red "X" mark to run the Windows Network Diagnostics. The dialog box will indicate "Windows tested your Internet connections and verified that you are able to access some websites. Are you looking for help with a different issue?" Then, the red "X" mark disappeared, and this computer is connected to the Internet.
What can we do to make the connection to Internet automatic every time we boot up?

I had to go through this all the time while I was on wireless (via Time Warner). Early this week, they brought me a new (wired) router, and not only did it fix the problem you're describing (having to troubleshoot constantly), it boosted my speed by at least 4, if not 5 times what I was running. I was averaging 250KB/sec, now I'm averaging 940KB/sec.
Obviously, you need your wireless to work. Insist on a new router(s) from your ISP, if they provided them. If you bought them, it's time for newer, faster ones. Being that you're in a office, you'll greatly benefit from a "N" based router. They cost more, but it's worth it.
