Question : Cannot connect to wireless connection after a reboot!

Hi,

After re-booting, my XP machine can no longer connect to a wireless connection. I am _stumped_.

My neighbor operates the router. I moved in two days ago, tried to connect to the network, typed in the WPA key, and everything was fine!

Today I wanted to share files with another computer on the network. I ran the "network setup wizard" (maybe a bad move), which asked me to re-boot.

After rebooting, I was prompted for the WPA key again to connect to the network (this was very strange), and after typing in the key, it cannot connect -- I just get "waiting for network" and then nothing.

Any ideas?

I would like to emphasize that nothing regarding the router, security, passphrase, etc. has changed. Another Vista computer is connected just fine. I simply re-booted my XP computer!

What on earth could have changed!!?

Thanks so much,

Perk

Answer : Cannot connect to wireless connection after a reboot!

ok, as it turns out, rebooting the router fixed this.  (I could not try that prior)

I don't know why active connections were maintained, but new ones were denied.

thanks
