Hi. I have a network in my house with one wired PC and one wireless laptop. Just recently, my laptop decided that it wouldn't connect to my network. The wireless card works OK, and it detects my home network (along with the many other wireless networks of my neighbors). It can even connect to one of said neighbors' unsecured networks (I tried it as a test). But it refuses to connect to mine.
I've never had this problem before. I attempt to connect to my network, and the security dialog box comes up with my password (encryped) already in it. (I've tried typing it in again, thinking maybe somehow someone changed it, but no luck.) Then the little dialog box comes up that says "Waiting on the network" or something like that, and you see the nice little picture of the network and the computer attempting to communicate with each other. After a minute or so, the box just disappears, and I'm not connected.
I've tried rebooting the laptop, the wireless card inside it, and my PC and wireless router. No luck.
Any thoughts on why this might be, especially all of a sudden?
