Hi. I have a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router at my computer and a Linksys Wireless-G 2.4 ghz USB Adapter connected to my wife's computer which is in an adjacent room (we're both using WinXP Home). We've had this setup for over a year now with no major problems.
Today when she logged on, the little network icon on the Taskbar suddenly displayed a red x, with the message: Wireless Network Connection- Not connected. My Internet connection is working fine and the usual lights are lit on my router. I verified her adapter was firmly connected, then double-clicked the network icon and in the Wireless Network Connection window it said: "No wireless networks were found in range."
I clicked "Refresh Network List" and an item labelled "Unsecured wireless network" appeared with a numerical name beginning with "05B403..." and an option to connect.
When I set up my network I entered a name for it and "05B403..." was not it. Something strange seems to be going on and I'd appreciate any advice.
