Intermittent connectons: Any ideas?

I have just installed a wireless home network and my laptop that is
connected with a D-Link-650+ PcMCIA WiFi 22Mbps card is constantly losing
the signal. The primary computeris only in the next room and the little
icon in the Task Bar says I have a "very good" signal.
Getting my e-mail to work is itermittent at best as it cannot make a
connection to the POP server....it works about 25% of the time.

Web-browsing works all the time but with a low connection rate...I tested it
at .800 Mbps...I have a 2.5 Mbps connection.

Primary computer works fine at high speed and no lost connections. Any
Ideas?

I believe SP2 is supposed to fix this problem... do you have WinXP SP2
installed?!?
