Wireless connection stops working

I have a second computer running WinXP Pro SP2 with a wifi USB 2.0 dongle. My connection works fine for about 20-30 minutes, then I get "The server at www.xxxxx.com is taking too long to respond." If I reboot the machine it works fine again. Happens in both IE6 and Firefox 2x.This is just weird. Anyone know the answer to this problem? Thanks.

I would (blame) look at the USB dongle, they are more trouble then their worth, If the computer has a wired connection try that, and see if you have any lose of connectivity.
