Yesterday I started my desktop PC, and it failed to connect to my wireless router automatically as it normally does. There were no error messages, but after startup a box appeared saying there are wireless networks in range.
Mine was one, but when I tried to connect it wanted all the security gubbins, so it seems it has lost the definition it used to use to connect.
The wireless itself is fine as my laptop connects OK on startup. The only thing I did change was a new wireless mouse (it had a wireless mouse before) but I can't see why that would affect the network connections.
Anyone got any ideas on why it has lost the default connection? I can probably get round it by redefining the connection, but I don't like things happening that I don't understand.
