My Windows XP computer just spontaneously removed itself from the network – or did something similar. It was working fine, I was on the internet etc, and I left my room for a minute, came back and AIM had disconnected, MSN had disconnected, and I was getting 404 errors everywhere I tried to go. All of the other computers on the network, including this one (sitting right next to it) are still on the network/internet and work fine.

Anyone have any idea what could have caused this or how I could potentially fix it? I tried a reboot – but it didn’t work.
