You might find some help there, plenty of things to check though.

Sara, from time to time I also have this trouble. This seems so simple, but it has worked for me.

Try going to the point where it is plugged in.........(the master connection)
and unplug it.............then plug it back in.

My client has three laptops - all in use at the same time and he has done the same thing and it fixes the problem.

Hope that helps.

This exact same thing happened to me and I spent hours doing the turn-off turn-on, plug-out plug-in thing.

It turned out there's a little button on the front of my laptop that disables the wireless connection and that I had accidentally hit it while moving the laptop away from Abby (who is insanely jealous over the laptop).

Anyway, I got the same messages asking me to check my wireless connection and apparently it was referring to the button. Once the button was pressed, I was back in business.

Good luck!

ES, easiets way to solve it is unplug the router for a couple minutes. This lets the modem completely lose power, and resets it. Try it again it should work.

Sara, I can't add anything, but this sounds like excellent advice. Hope you get it back on, or .... you'll just have to sit inside the house.

And the prize goes to.....Abbymom (what do you expect... a Chicagoan

)

I knew it couldn't be the network as Don is successfully on it.

So I dusted off the never-read User's Guide.....found the button for connecting wireless network and ...voila....I am typing this on it!

Thank you all!
