WinXP wireless problem...

I've been trying, off and on, to troubleshoot this annoyance for a while but haven't been successful.

My computers connect to a wireless AP that is attached to a wired router. The router provides all DHCP.

Every time I logon to WinXP, the connection "breaks". It doesn't "break" right away, but about a minute after logging in. I believe it is likely a DHCP issue.

I know for certain that the problem lays somewhere in Windows and not my network hardware because my other computers running Linux don't "break" their network connections.

This is a clean WinXP computer. There is no junk installed and I'm very meticulous about what processes are allowed to run.

I don't know what else to check in Windows.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
