it could be NIC settings issue. quoted from http://www.ChicagoTech.net
XP disconnection issue

1. Try to disable autodisconnection feature first.
2. If disabling autoconnection doesn't fix the problem and other
workstations don't have the same issue, check the hardware settings, for
example, configure the computer' network cards for half duplex. Most Hubs
don't support full duplex.
