D-link USB Wireless adaptor DWL-G122 often disconnects

I'm using a D-link USB Wireless adaptor DWL-G122 to go online. It works with D-LINK Air-Plus G router DI-524.

The USB wireless adaptor works perfectly on my laptop, which has Windows XP (SP2) and a USB version 1 plug. When I use it on my Windows XP (SP3) desktop which has USB version 2 plug. It disconnects two or three times a day for no reason. The off time lasts a few minutes. Then the connection comes back for no reason.

Sometimes I can reach a site's frontpage, like "

", but it doesn't go to any links on the page. Give it five or ten minutes and try it again, it works fine again. Very strange. I was able to solve this problem once by turning off Zone Alarm. The solution worked for two days. Somehow my machine learned new way to block access to a site's sub pages even without ZA running. Anyone know why?
