if you right click the wireless icon in the system tray and select
Diagnose and Repair, do you reconnect?
change your power scheme to high performance. does this help?
do you have the latest drivers for your wireless card? do you have
the latest firmware for your router? (what exactly are you
connecting TO?)
please post the TEXT output of ipconfig /all as a reply.
