Uninstall Intel Proset Wireless application and let Windows manage your connection.

And if all of those options dont work, try the Atheros Wifi, I got it a few weeks back, and its wonderful.

Honestly, after I uninstalled Proset and went with XP, I've had no connection problems.

Try setting up the wireless on different channel through the router settings. Cordless phones, cell phones, microwaves, low flying aircraft, asteroid showers, alien visits, etc, etc can interfere with particular channels.

Might also try different encryption methods. When I have my encryption off, I get a lot of drops, but in WPA/PSK mode I'm rock solid.

Yup, go XP. Also, once you have XP controlling it, make sure you set it up properly by going to device manager>wireless adapter>properties>Configure.

Read the bottom half of this page - especially about the SSID. It may help.
