But the experience also taught me to try, try and try things again and most of the time they come back. Years of working in tech support, I am lucky not to have too much of a problem with this.

Perhaps your network card died... Those are cheap and easy to replace. I had to recently replace my network card on my desktop - I think those have a tendency to fizzle out after a few years. I'm not sure what your setup is, but if resetting your router (if you use one) still doesn't let you connect, and your other computer can connect to it, it may be a hardware issue. ahhhh - even though I quit my support job I still find myself trying to help others with their troublshooting haha. good luck!

I have digital TV where I'm at that uses the same internet connection as the computer, that's the only way I know where the problems at when the connection dies.
