I have rebooted everything on the line, more than once, and every
other computer in the house does not have this problem (maybe a big
glaring finger - this machine's wifi is failing...).

I reported solution too soon.  Now it is doing exactly the same thing
as before - no recognition of the router  or wifi (in home), just
someone else's from outside.

So I must ask again: where can I look (logs or traces or whatever)
that might give me clue as to why this thing works, then doesn't, then
works, then doesn't.

It is truly frustrating and not even just a little bit disturbing to
have rock solid connections everywhere else in the house and nothing
from that one location.

Thanks.
