Airport Just Stopped

Well I was surfing the internet and all of a sudden I am no longer connected and it says "No Airport networks in range"!



My laptop is not even ten feet away from the base station...



I tried unplugging both the base station and the cable modem, for 30 seconds as sometimes that helps but not this time...



Any suggestions? I hate having to use dial up!

    happened to me the other day and i found the power had fallen out of the back of the airport ... of course i didn't check that first but went of tracing networks etc for half an hour and then kicked myself after reseting the airport.



    Does you machine see the airport after a reset ...?

    Perhaps check your Mac's AirPort Card connection. I had that once (AirPort just disappeared). I opened up my iBook, reseated the card (it didn't appear to be loose), and all was well again. Hasn't happened again since then.

    This falls into the WIFI catagory. (I have to keep up a network also)
