What kind of wireless adapter is in your laptop? You say your internet connection is just randomly popping off. Does windows XP control the wireless, or is there some utility that controls your wireless card. Is there a WEP encryption key? Have you run windowsupdate and have all the latest patches. In the XP service pack 2 they changed the windows wireless manager.

Also are you connecting to a 802.11b or .11g router?
