First, make sure that your 'comments' option includes :// It should by default. You can check this by executing :verbose set comments? That will tell you what 'comments' is set to and if not the default, where it was last set. Next, to automatically start the next line with // when a comment line wraps, the 'formatoptions' options must include c which it does by default. To check this, execute :verbose set formatoptions? You might also try starting vim as vim -N -u NONE -c 'set wm=5' and see if it behaves as you expect it to. It should. If it doesn't, tell us exactly what you did, what results you expected and what results you actually got.
