It's the Wireless Zero Configuration Service that may be causing you
grief. Some say there is a setting to make WZCS lock in on your preferred
network. I myself disable WZCS, downloaded and install the driver and
config the NIC with Device Manager. I didn't install the card's utility
to do anything not even show signal strength, which the signal strength
can be shown on the mouse over of the network connection icon in the job
trey, when you go to the LAN NIC Properties on XP and tell it to *Show
Network Connection*.

For me, the XP connection became solid as a rock. I also changed the
channel too. ;-)

Open the TCP/IP properties of the connection, General tab, Advanced
properties, TCP/IP filtering properties, Select Enable filtering, then
change Permit Only to Permit All. On some (maybe all) SP2 when using a
personal firewall not recognized by the security center, the filtering
is locked down when disabling the Windows Firewall.
