Hmmm, it doesn't want to work at all tonight

Just got home to try these suggestions and now nothing seems to be working. The laptop will pick up the network, but then when I click connect it displays a dialogue box saying "Waiting for the network" which then seems to time out (the message doesn't change) and delivers me back to the list of networks, where my netowrk has disappeared. When I click refresh, it appears again. All indications are that the signal strength is good (full bars on the XP display thingy)

Sometimes the network remains on display in the listof networks, but I am not given any indication as to why it didn't connect.

Aaaaaaargh! I thought they were supposed to be easy!

Any more ideas greatly appreciated
