media state: disconnected. Guru needed!!

It's been 2 days since I have been able to connect wirelessly and I have
exhausted every possible fix I could find. It's time for me to post and
try to find a networking super-sleuth.

Here's the story:
Everything was working fairly well and out of no where, the connection
dropped. It connected for 5 minutes yesterday, but has yet to return.

Here's my specs:
OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600
System Name ACER-E8F5014F99
System Manufacturer Acer
System Model TravelMate 4200
Router: Belkin Wireless G
computer is a laptop with internal wireless card
Cable modem motorola surfboard

Here's my ipconfig/all:

Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) PRO/Wireless

Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-13-02-03-AC-17


I did a firmware update.
I've tried different channels.
I have the latest drivers.
I have run WinsockFix
I have enabled Wireless Zero Configuration
I have uninstalled and re-installed the drivers
I have done a system restore and went back to last week.
my wireless switch is on.
I have disabled/enabled/rebooted/reconnected all of the devices in
every combination and many times.
My system can detect the wireless signal, it is strong. I am only one
foot away from the router.
I have no other wireless signals in the area.
I did not get a new cordless phone or baby monitor.

I am at a complete loss here. I'm hoping that someone here will look
at my ipconfig and figure it right out.

Thanks,
Lisa

Bit late, maybe the issue has been resolved.
