Laptop randomnly dropping wifi signal - any ideas?

Hi guys,

I have a laptop on a SBS network, for some reason it keeps randomly dropping
the network - I am not entirely sure what is going on, but it seems to keep
losing the wireless access key. I have another laptop on the same network
which is, however, still connecting fine.

Both laptops are XP, using the same wifi point, and both users have the same
permissions level. The key is being assigned locally rather than via any
policies - could this be the issue and if so how do I configure to
automatically provide the wireless key, as this could resolve quite a few
problemos!
