It sound to me that your connection is dropping. If you right click on you wireless
connection in your networks places and set it to show icon bar when connected, you
can at least be notified. You can also check the "event viewer" system events and
see if it is dropping. Just lack of signal. Event viewer is in control panel under
admin options.
