wirless adapter keeps booting me

for some reason, my internet connection keeps dropping out. sometimes it happens every few minutes, sometimes it won't happen but once or twice a day. the router is working fine as far as the LEDs reveal, so i'm guessing it's a problem with the adapter
on XP, using comcast, with a dlink wbr-2310 (i know it's a shitty product), network is secured with wpa
is there any reason why this would be happening and any way to prevent it?

Watch for any appliances that kick on during your problem times. I've seen installs where the wireless stops working when somebody uses the microwave oven, etc.

using comcast
Are you running any torrent software? Comcast specifically states that they throttle torrent traffic and can even fake like you're connected to the destination site but it's actually Comcast's throttler impersonating the other end of your torrent connection to control your client.

Or you might be running at too-high a rate for the length and conditions of your copper. Try calling tech support and asking them to temporarily switch you down one notch on the speed to see if the circuit stabilizes.
