    I carry this around with me for work ... it spends most of its time connected to a wired network at various client sites if I need it. However, sometimes I use wireless.

    I have ALWAYS had a WPA2 network in my house. A few weeks ago I stopped being able to connect to it - yet my cell phone and other laptop are able to connect fine and without problem.

    Again - I do travel for work and this spends most of its time hopping back and fourth between various WEP and WPA networks ... I never have a problem connecting to them.

    Are there any reasons why it would suddenly stop connecting to WPA2 networks?
