Moved computers, lost network

by mmcjprof Feb 4, 2007 6:25AM PST

I swapped desks and computers with my husband. When I reconnected everything, the computers had totally lost connection with our wireless home network. I've been trying for two days, and not been able to re-connect. The primary computer is in my son's room, directly connected to comcast. The wireless base station is a microsoft MN-500. One office computer links with a microsoft wireless connector, the other has a d-link. Any suggestions? The network setup wizards have me going around in circles with my flash drive, but no connections get actually set up. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

The reboot worked, once I e-mailed the guy who set up the network and got the net key. Thanks.
