MN620 constant disconnection

I have XP Home edition on my laptop, 80211b wireless base
station, and matching notebook wireless adapter (kit
MN620). ISP is Cox (cable). I get dropped connection
every 5 minutes. When I visit my friend who uses same
hardware, I have no problem connecting on her network and
never get disconnected. Only at home!!!! VEry frustrating.

Check to see if you're using 802.1x Authentication on the notebook adapter.
Go into Network Connections, right-click your LAN icon and select
Properties. Go to the Wireless Networks tab and highlight your LAN in the
lower box, then click the Properties button. You'll see the Authentication
tab. Make sure there is no check mark in the top box.
