Can Log in but Can't connect

[Lazaras]

OK after initial fiddling I managed to get a network going with the house desktop connected to the 3g modem and a router connected to the desktop and, supposedly, broadcasting. For awhile that worked swimmingly. I did a few demo things, let a house guest use Facebook awhile. Then I put it up for awhile to charge.

I come back nothing wants to connect. It'll let me log in (presumably account passwords are stored locally once the account is made.) It's likely something wonky with the cobbletogether i have in place. Ideas?

I'm using windows xp for the desktop, and obviously internet works for it.

Stumped and annoyed. Things were going so well earlier.

Have you tried a reboot? Also some times I am forced to "disable WiFi" then re enable it. See if that helps.

Onlhy thing I can think of is my having disconnected, reconnected, then going to guest mode and sleeping. It's better for now. just... wtf?

It's real finicky with the wifi sometimes, but this has always been a Linux thing. Sometimes it disconnects for no reason, sometimes it doesn't connect after it wakes from sleep. Hopefully Google will get this fixed. Don't forget to file a bug report.

Ah, wasn't sure if it was my end or not so hadn't yet. Now that I know I'm gonna.
