But anyway... Unplugging it and moving it shouldn't have made any difference if it was previously working. Did you restart it during that time? Any Windows updates installed? Are you sure there's not a physical button on the laptop that turns wifi on and off? It might have a little antenna icon or something. I've seen that issue on occasion.
You might go to Control Panel\System\Device Manager\Network Adapters and see if there's a red "X" or a yellow "!" on top of the icon for the wireless adapter.
Other than that, check and see what the IP says when you get home...

Yeah, my dad's laptop has the physical button, and he's had that happen before. I've not found any such button on mine. And yes, it was just the power, which is why I can't figure out what the problem is. I'll check the IP address once I'm home in a little while.
