As you move away from the AP the signal strength decreases in an inverse square relationship- are you too far from the AP?
Are you using the adapter's config utility or the XP one?

Nope, tried all that. I've used the laptop on the desk next to the AP, and it still jumps on and off. The other wireless desktop always seems to work, even, funnily enough, when the microwave is on (it is in between the router and the other computer)
It's such a shame we have to go all through this with a nearly new laptop. Apart from the the stupid wireless modem, it is actually really nice.
