Turns out that ComEd blew a transformer for my building again, and I had lost power.....or actually in a worse scenario I was having a brown out. Thankfully most of my main comp stuff is on a UPS, but I had to shut it all down to conserve battery power just in case I needed it later.
On a bright note, I was able to build my own null modem cable last night and get inside my 3com WAP to program the MAC addresses of my cards in it so nobody can war drive me or get in my network ;) Gotta go DBZ is on, and there are new episodes! Here's something for you all to watch.
