[solved?]weird networking/wireless problem

I have had this odd problem for a couple of days now. I am not sure if this the OS or my router or something else that is doing this to me.

1. I have a DSL connection at home used via a modem wireless router combination.
2. I have been using the my wireless card -  Intel® WiFi Link 5300 agn. (network card = RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller)
3. Since last 3 days, I have been unable to connect to my home wifi or be able to see any wireless connections (from my neighbours)
4. I can connect and use wireless internet flawlessly when out of my apartment (not in my apartment building -  this leads me to believe my hardware is ok)
5. Other users can access the wifi. (using their laptops/ipads/ipod/phones)
6. I can access my internet over an ethernet cable
7. I have the same problem with either windows7 or arch (dual boot)

any thoughts/possible diagnosis?

I have already done the following:
1. reset every setting on my router to factory defaults and setup a new access point.
2. reset my arch/windows settings and changed my host name
3. Try using iwconfig instead of my default wicd.

Thanks.

Re: [solved?]weird networking/wireless problem

So after ignoring this problem for about 20 days, it has disappeared!
Why this happened is still a mystery.
