Weird Wireless Problem.

I've had a similar problem with an Averatec notebook. The
two things that seem to work for me are (1) giving the
notebook as long as 15 minutes to make the connection.
Sometimes, for some reason, it just takes a while when I
move from home to work or vice-versa. (2) for the
impatient, turn off the wireless radio with your software
utility for a few minutes, then switch it back on. This
usually fixes the problem, but in mine occasionally makes
it worse, so I tend not to do it a lot.

Granted, these are lousy solutions, but they let me get on
about my business with a minimum of fuss. Also: the
windows XP wireless utility was programmed by drunken
monkeys. Disable it and use something, pretty much
ANYTHING, else.

I have a Sony Vaio Z1GP and for the first year had no
probs with the wireless connections, both at home &
office. Suddenly the home connection works ok, but
anywhere else i get a "wireless network unavailable"
message on the connection. I can see the ssid of the
office access point in the "Available Connections" but
can't connect to it.
I have tried re-installing the connection, updating driver
(not that anything appeared wrong with the existing one),
enable/disable, ect.

Any ideas?

What are your WEP settings? Sounds like WEP may have recently been enabled on some of the 'other' networks and you cannot gain access to them now.
