I got up this morning, took a look at my laptop - and found a bunch of dialogs indicating that my network connection had dropped. Ok, it looks like I had a transient outage while I was asleep. That wasn't the annoyance. When the connection came back, Windows had decided that my WiFi connection used a WEP key. Never mind that it doesn't - never mind that the other machine using WiFi was happily connected. Windows, apparently, had its own ideas. I couldn't change the setting back without rebooting. This happens periodically; I'd really like to know why...
