Turns out that my lack of (home) laptop connectivity wasn't a fried wireless card. I took it to a decent local shop and they found a virus that was resetting the IP address randomly. They cleaned it off and installed a different virus-checker; I'd been using McAfee, but it didn't catch this one. As the guy said, "I see lots of malware on PCs with McAfee running."

...apparently the virus came from a recent McAfee update.
The irony, it burns.

Gad. I have been using AVG and not been burned in awhile ... just sayin'.

Which new anti-virus did they load onto your machine? I've been using Norton this time around and it's been good (at least as far as I know).
