We have a Linksys router, and set up a Lan Connection for our two desktops and one laptop for sharing internet connection. I also set the DHCP limited to 3 users for security purpose. So far, it was running well and I could check the DHCP table which showed our three computers logging on the connection.
This morning, I used my laptop running files from my desktop and it was okay. But all a sudden, my laptop couldn't detect the wireless connection and, of cos', couldn't get the files shared from my desktop anymore.
Then, I checked the Linksys setting. Everything was fine but there was no more information in DHCP table. As the two desktops connected using cable, they can still using the internet and sharing files. But the laptop couldn't detect the wireless connection now.
The brief setting is follows:
Wireless:Enabled
SSID Broadcast: Disabled
Channel: 6
WEP: Mandatory
DHCP Server: Enabled
Number of Users: 3
Client Lease Time: 0
I should appreciate if you have any advice on how to fix my problem.

did you power cycle the router?

After I have left the laptop for about three hours, it could connect the wireless again, and sharing the files from my desktop with no problem.
Thank you very much.
