Have you tried restarting your wireless router? Do you have any other hardware that connects to the router, and if so is that able to connect?
Is there a switch on your netbook to turn wireless on/off, could this have been pushed accidentally?0 -
My dell mini has a wireless on/off that's controlled by pressing the Fn and 2 keys at the same time to toggle... could be that?

Other than the above suggestions. check if it can even pickup your network, refresh all available networks and try and connect to your wireless network again.Even time will never heal these scars0
