Wireless connection dropping

I'm a long time wireless user, but I'm experiencing a new problem. I'm using
a new Vaio S460 notebook with a wireless network at my house- works no
problem.

Started grad. school in an all wireless building. I can connect to the
network fine, but after 4-6 minutes or so the connection drops momentarily
and then automatically reconnects. Its a huge pain, anyone have any ideas?

More info:
No one else on the network (spoke with hundreds of other people) is
experiencing this problem.
I've checked to make sure my driver was up to date.
My connection strength is excellent, so its not losing signal
I'm using Windows Xp SP2 and using the windows network SW, not third party,
its a built in card.

Anyone?

Thanks,
Jason

I don't think that is enabled, where is that option so I can double check?

I think the problem is interference with another wireless card, could that
be, if so, anything I can do?
