Default lost wireless connection

My new Toshiba netbook running WinXP SP3 arrived yesterday. I "connected" it
to my wireless router by clicking on the wireless connection icon in the
system tray, picking my network from the ones available, and typing in my
key. It worked fine yesterday and this morning. Suddenly, this afternoon, I
can't get connected to anything. When I hover the cursor over the icon, I am
told "Wireless connection unavailable."

My desktop computer and my other laptop are working fine.

I phoned my ISP and was told there could be some interference and I should
bring in the router and the netbook to have something changed (the channel
maybe?).

Is there anything I can try on my own rather than taking everything to the
shop? Could I have done something to screw up the connection in the course
of setting up something else? Is there any chance that one of the automatic
updates could have done something? (I downloaded and installed all of the
high-priority Windows updates this morning.)

Thank you!

Jo-Anne
