wireless network connectivity

[Bryan]

I would like to know why my wireless connection between my
laptop and my desktop keeps disconnecting. It will stay on
my personal home network for about 5 minutes at a time and
then it disconnects to show me that there are other
wireless networks available. I can't seem to figure out
why it won't stay connected to my own personal network.

I don't suffer from this problem when I am at school on the
wireless network. I have no problems staying connected to
it, so it must be something I did when I set up the
connection between my laptop and desktop. Note the desktop
is connected to the net via cable and supports the wireless
54g router.

The message bubble that appears when I become disconnected
says: Wireless Network Connection - One or more wireless
networks available. After this I have to reconnect to my
own network.

Please help asap.

thanks, bryan
