It seems that your wireless configuration has been erased from your computer when you used it in France. Your gonna have to get the SSID and WEP/WPA key from your hub/router and configure it on your computer so it can connect wirelessly.

The very first thing you should try is to reset everything.
1. Reset your cable modem, wait for the modem to come online. and see if it solved your problem. if not then step 2.
2. Reset your wireless router by pressing and holding the reset button on the back or the bottom of your router.
After this, you might need to configure your settings but you can do this later. We are just trying to see if it is your router that is causing your problem. After the reset, see if you can pick up the signal from your laptop and also connect to the internet. If it did not work.
3. While you were in France, have you used static IP address? Go to Start -> Setting -> Network connections -> Right Click on your network conntion -> go to properties -> double click on Intenret Protocol (TCP/IP) -> if there are numbers assigned in the boxes, select "Obtain an IP address automatically

did u reset the ISP modem, that could sometimes be the case since my wireless router stops working if there is no activity. Also make sure that the settings also match with the info that the ISP has such as email, password, IP address, default gateway.
If you still have problems, contact the company that manufactures the router.

Have you tried a wired connection, plugging a wire from your computer into your wireless router (most wireless routers have WIRED ports on the back).
Check the TCP/IP settings on the LAN CONNECTION, maybe something has changed it to STATIC IP (which is wrong).

go somewhere such as best but or circut city. if they don't know, try calling the company where you bought the laptop. did you get any power-outs in france? it can mess up the connection and other things. hope i helped!

Call your internet provider company--they should have a support tech who can walk you through it.
