Default Filling a combo box w/in datagridview

The horrible part is ... I had this working!
Then I found a problem with the underlying table, fixed it, and it hasn't worked correctly since ...

What I want to do:
W/in a data grid view, build a list of carriers and show the available networks as a combo box.
If the carrier already exists, its' current network should show as the current value in the combo box.

What I have right now:
The list of carriers and a blank in the combo box.
The combo box is filled with the available networks.
If I select a network, as soon as I go to the next row in the view, the box is blank again.

This is the code I'm currently using:
Code:
    Private Sub frmCarrier_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
        ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
        Handles MyBase.Load

        LoadNetworkLookup()

        Me.taCarrier.Fill(Me.dsAPC_Wireless.Carrier)

    End Sub
    Private Sub LoadNetworkLookup()
        'using runtime DataSet and DataAdapters to load combo box
        Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor
        'Networks
        Dim strSQL As String = _
            "SELECT NetworkID, NetworkTypeName from Network;"

        ' connect to SQL Server
        Dim strConn As New SqlConnection(APC_WirelessConnectionString)
        strConn.Open()

        Dim daNetwork As New SqlDataAdapter
        Dim cmdNetwork As New SqlCommand(strSQL, strConn)
        Dim dsNetwork As New DataSet
        Dim dvNetwork As New DataView

        cmdNetwork.CommandType = CommandType.Text
        daNetwork.SelectCommand = cmdNetwork

        'Try Catch Block for error checking
        Try
            daNetwork.Fill(dsNetwork)

            dvNetwork = dsNetwork.Tables(0).DefaultView

            With Me.dgv_cmbNetwork
                .DataSource = dvNetwork
                .DisplayMember = "NetworkTypeName"
                .ValueMember = "NetworkID"
            End With
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message.ToString)
        End Try
        strConn.Close()

        Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default
    End Sub
Does any one have a clue what I broke? And better yet, how I can fix it?

Thanks,
Karen
