Help with WiFi please

[vikingksk]

So i'm a college student and i'm too broke to pay for the data connection so I got the apache with the intention of just using the wifi on campus. It works great and all but every time my phone sleeps the wifi turns off and i have to go back to internet explorer and type in my student id number and password in order to continue using the internet.

I was wondering if there was anyway to keep wifi on without having to continually log on or at least have internet explorer remember my password and id number.

sorry for the long post and thanks in advance for any help!!!
