Try turning your router off for a while (as long as 30 minutes) and re-connect again....

Alternatively, try doing a 'System Restore' in the Control Panel and take the computer back a few days (it won't affect any newly downloaded files etc)

It may be a windows update has broken it.

Check to see if any updates were installed this morning - if so roll them back.

How this is done will depend on ur operating system (XP/Vista/7)

It might be possible that your WI-Fi modem got some problem. Some times there are some driver problem for Wi-Fi. In My Toshiba Satellite Laptop it would happen so many times. When i ask the service center about this problem they told me that if this kind of problem accrue again you have to update driver or reinstall it.
