Windows XP uses a service called "Wireless Zero Configuration" that constantly scans your neighbourhood for other wireless connections. This helps your computer seamlessly connect to other wireless available networks, based on the signal strength. This is a great idea when you are mobile but in some cases, it might cause frequent disconnections. You might need to disable this service if your network frequently gets disconnected.
