Part of this solution worked for me too. I have a D-Link DI-624 for my wireless connection
and a bridged HPNA network for my 2 Dell 4600 Desktops, which are running WinXP SP2.
After I turned the Windows Firewall/ICS off, I haven't had a single disconnect. Here's
how to do it again: Right click "My Computer", select "Manage", then after that window
opens double click "Services and Applications" and double click "Services". Scroll
down that list to "Windows Firewall/ICS" and double click that entry. The "Properties"
window opens and then you can either set the "Startup Type" to manual or disabled
and then close out of that completely and reboot your machine.
