Disconnection of network every 10 minutes

I bought a new laptop and got the internet connection. I dont know what
but the connection goes off every 10 minutes precisely. It doesn't come
back until click on repair option under the network management icon.
Please help me in fixing this problem. Is it the problem of the router
or its configuration? My wireless is WEP enabled. The worst part is it
shows that the wireless is not connected but still I am able to browse
the net and I have no problems what so ever but this is only limited to
10 minutes and the message "Unable to connect to Wireless network" pops
out and the connection goes off. Then I am not able to browse the net
until I click on the repair option. After this it says that Windows
could not repair the problem so check this with the person who manges
your network. But now I can browse the net as usual for 10 minutes
precisely and the same thing returns. Can someone help me fix this?
Regards,

If you have Windoze XP without SP2, then you probably have 802.1x
accidentally enabled. That doesn't work as 802.1x will try to
authenticate with a non-existent RADIUS server, fail, and then
disconnect. The setting is in the properties for the wireless card
under "Networks" in the Control Panel. If you haven't installed XP
SP2, I would strongly suggest you it and all subsequent Microsoft
updates. There are LOTS of bug fixes.

Another possibility is that the broadband router has a timeout set on
the cable or DSL connection. If you're system is idle for XX minutes,
it disconnects. The setting is usually on the WAN (internet) setup
page. I don't think this is the problem but it's worth checking.

If you're still stuck, kindly disclose:
1. Your router make, model, hardware version, and firmware version.
(Yeah, I know it's a pain to dig out all that info but it does help
with version specific bugs).
2. Your operating system, version, and patch level.
3. Similar descriptions about your new laptop (make, model, wireless
card, operating system, versions, etc).

Thanks the problem is solved. Actually it was becos I had enabled
802.1x since I dont have SP2. Now it is disabled and i will enable it
as soon as i install sp2 updates. Well Merry Christmas
