That media disconnected bit didn't make sense so I checked settings
again and there's someplace you can access the security settings. The
WEP key had gotten blown away so I entered it again. Now on ipconfig
/all I get the right IP address (as I have in the reserved list on the
router), the router address for the gateway IP (as expected), DNS server
IP's as expected.
Doesn't someone out there have another idea for me? My awesome Network
Magic shows it (on my other pc's) on the network diagram as "offline".
(no doubt b/c i had it on the map before when it was working.)
Ping router, request times out, packets sent but none received.

Thanks thanks for coming to the maiden in distress!!!!
