Internet Connection Drops Out after 5-20min. PLEASE HELP!!!

I have 2 laptop computers that use wireless connection to the Internet.
One of them is eMachine (one year old) M6805 series and that one WORKS
all the time perfectly. The other one is brand new Toshiba L25-S119 and
this one have some connectivity problems. I used both laptops at the
same location at home where signal strenght is excellent. (Both use
Windows XP). The Toshiba (depends on its mood) works fine for 5-20
minuts and then drops connection, but it not a rule. Sometimes it stays
connected all the time and does not disconnect. When it does disconnect
from Internet I have to reboot the machine and then I am able to surf
the Net again...but never sure for how long. What could be a problem
here?
Thank you so much for your time to read my message and any potential
help.

I had a similar problem and it turned out to be spyware. I had to run
tcp/ip fix as well and all was fine.
