I'm going to guess that some thing changed in your configuration at some point recently, and old info was in a cache somewhere in the network path. Did you ever reboot your router during this event? Either that, or some flakiness with your radio - I have an old HP with Broadcom 4306 wireless that gets real funny with the wireless configuration sometimes. It acts like you describe, suddenly, mysteriously, and then clears up - on occasion, I've found the radio to seemingly have a mind of its own - and the LED on the radio to be useless - it can appear to be off, and wireless works, and vice-versa; also, the lost-connection-can't- reconnect bit - usually, rebooting clears that one up, as well as the radio problem. -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
