I'll second that recomendation. Especially if your version is XP and
you've gone into hibernation. When you set windows into hibernation is
some how 'steals' control of the network card (wireless or not) and wont
give it back unless you boot into windows and then shutdown properly.
It took me a while to work this one out when it happened to me after
building my new pc :-)
