Heres the setup:

COX ISP
COX modem plugs into Linksys Wireless Router.
Router plugs into 1 desktop PC through CAT-6 cable.
1 PC Desktop connects Wirelessly.
1 MAC Laptop connects Wirelessly.

Problem:

All of a sudden the internet stops working on all 3 computers over night.

I unplug the modem and router for about 30 seconds, plug them back in, and the desktop connected through the CAT-6 cable starts working.

Both wireless computers (desktop and laptop) still don't work.

I try to configure the wireless internet, but instead of the linksys network showing up by itself, I now have a "Maynooth" connection option also.

I ignore the Maynooth and try to connect useing linksys...doesn't work.

I try useing the Maynooth and it works, but its very very very slow.

Did I catch a virus?

Please help.

Goto www.ipchicken.com on the cat6 computer and on the wireless "maynooth". If those ips dont match, then you're on someone else's wireless network. You can also run ipconfig on ethernet computer and compare gateways with the wireless when connected. Loss of connection may be a false positive.
