unable to connect to home network

Hi all,
I am having problem connecting to my home wireless network with Intel PRO/wireless 3945 AB on my DELL laptop inspiron E1405 with windows XP. I have a wireless router (LINKSYS WRT54G) and it had no problem connecting before, but when I opened today after the computer suddenly shutdown, it stopped connecting to the home network. It is able to find and even connect to surrounding networks, so I am not sure what happened.

Shutdown everything, then start the modem, router and PC in that order.

I switched off the router and laptop and switched on again in that order. But it still is able to connect to other networks and not to my home network.

Can any other wireless clients access your home network? Is the laptop even detecting your home network? Have you checked your router settings by logging into it's admin interface from a wired connection?
