Thanks for the suggestions. Tried both and neither worked.
More information: this seemed to occur after returning from a trip which involved the laptop being scanned several times by airport carry-on baggage security scanners. I also allowed an update to Windows Media Player to install install.
I tried a System Restore to a date prior to the trip mentioned above, and internet/network connection was restored, until I turned off the computer and restarted it. After the restart, no more connection. Tried this several times with the same result each time.
Finally, I used the recovery disks provided with the computer to take the system back to "as delivered" configuration (sigh), and it seems that the connection issue has been fixed. Now I just have to finish setting it up again to personal preferences.
