Just another thing you can try, I remember I had the same thing with a Centrino laptop connecting to a Linksys router until i unchecked the "require 802.11xx authentication" somewhere, i don't really remember the exact settings. But you could give that a shot and see if it works.

Thank you all for you suggestions. We just completed hardwiring all our computers so the problem is gone.

That's how I solve flaky wireless connection issues.

Good to know at the end. Other options are to use something other than a USB wireless adapter. For example. a PCI or PCMCIA adapter can sometimes work better than a USB one.

Probably, but to tell the truth, this HP computer has been such a pain, I'd replace it if I could.

Know what you mean. Not too impressed with the ones from at least the past several years. Actually have a 3 GHz one that is so bad a customer just gave it to me.
