    Find a network for it. Did you try looking behind the laptop?

    My network sometimes crawls underneath a closet if I beat it too hard. I just lure it out with cookies again.

      Okay, okay.

      I take it that it was not behind the laptop?

      Tell me, is your refrigerator running?

             ;D

            You guys have me rolling on the floor.

            Okay... down to business.

            First: Can you find any other networks?
            Second: Are the lights on your router blinking?

            Try unplugging everything from the router and resetting it. Then try hooking up directly with a CAT-5 cable. Does that work?

            If all else fails: eat the cookies before the network does. They're good. Especially the chocolate ones.  ;)

                  I just have a hard time believing that you're serious.

                  On what are you typing this and how did you secure the access console to your hyperdrive?

                  can you access the router configuration via a wired connection and double-check all wireless settings?

                  Make sure the router's antenna(s) are properly connected as well.

                  heh, it's ironic that my post was the only one aside the OP's that didn't include some sort of humour. (this statement notwithstanding)
                  I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.
