XP machine can't use Airport

Hi, I've got an airport, pre-extreme, that has been working away happily for over a year now, hasn't played up. We have an ibook wirelessly connected to it and I recently bought a machine to run XP and Linux, that is connected to the airport by ethernet cable. XP picked up the internet immediately, but just today can't see it. I've tried rebooting, unplugging and replugging the airport and the cable modem, running ipconfig with different parameters, but today XP is acting as it there is no internet connection.

But the ibook just carries on, despite all these disruptions. That's how I've been able to send this message.

Can anyone suggest why this might have happened so suddenly?

TIA,

Mark
 
Ah, this is embarassing, but I don't know how it happened: networking was switched off. I just had to restart it with the control panel, and it was back to normal. It wasn't the airport's fault. ;)
