Have you tried deleting the wireless association from your PC and setting up fresh? If you have, try uninstalling/reinstalling the wireless device drivers on your machine.

As to why it's gone wrong in the first place - no clue, sorry :S

You've tried uninstalling the drivers for your wireless adapter and reinstalling? Have you got MAC address filtering on the router enabled? If so make sure your main PC's MAC is allowed.

Couple of things, most obvious, you sure everythings set right ? If i had a pound for everytime i missed somit stupid. Wife would of still spent it and i'd still be poor

SSID transmitting on Wireless access point ? Is puter seeing it as there. If you not transmitting SSID, Try it and see if it seeing it. turn it off after.

Useing MAC address filtering ? Router forgot PC address ?

Wireless card set correctly and not set for AD-Hoc. ?

TCP-IP settings not changed (been changed by cat walking over key board) ?
Ping 127.0.0.1 in cmd to check TCP-IP bound to card correctly.

Update or backdate wireless drivers. Try the ones that came with it. you did put em in a safe place

Also try useing the software that came with wireless card to access network or windows one if you use wireless software that came with card now.

Can card be removed and plug into another machine ? See if it works there, rule out card.

I kicked it in the fanny and it started working again.

Was the fanny kicking authorised by Trem, Teedles or myself? (megs a bitch so his opinion doesn't count). If not you are in serious danger of a fanny kick yourself.
