I'm going to guess that some thing changed in your configuration 
at some point recently, and old info was in a cache somewhere in 
the network path. Did you ever reboot your router during this 
event? Either that, or some flakiness with your radio - I have an 
old HP with Broadcom 4306 wireless that gets real funny with the 
wireless configuration sometimes. It acts like you describe, 
suddenly, mysteriously, and then clears up - on occasion, I've 
found the radio to seemingly have a mind of its own - and the LED 
on the radio to be useless - it can appear to be off, and 
wireless works, and vice-versa; also, the lost-connection-can't-
reconnect bit - usually, rebooting clears that one up, as well as 
the radio problem.
