I'm not familiar with the setup of a wireless card but in my home situation
using a Linksys wireless router, I sometimes find that the IP addressing,
under Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) within the AGN Virtual Adapter (under
Network Connections), gets set to the option to use a specific IP address
rather than Dynamic addressing. This will keep you from connecting,
especially when there is no IP address in entered in that particular field.
You can check it by going to Network Connections (either on the desktop or
under Control Panel) or possibly My Network Connections (it varies upon the
Windows version), find the AGN Virtual Network Adapter and right click on
it, then click on Properties, scroll down to Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and
select, then click on Properties. The button that says "Obtain an IP
address automatically" should be checked, if not do so and click OK until
you are all the way out. You will have to disable the AGN adapter by right
clicking on it and click "disable". Then, right click again and enable
this time. Watch to see if it connects.
You may have to do the same procedure to the Wireless Network Connection.
Both should indicate "Connected" when they are working. It may say
"Acquiring Network Address", if so give it a minute to see if it will
connect.
I also find at my home location that it is necessary to restart both the
cable modem and the Linksys Wireless router to get my connection back, but
if you are in a location providing wireless access this is not something
you could do, and is probably not the case unless no one was able to get
in.
