I have perhaps a similar problem with a desktop (quad-PPro) system
running WSEB SMP and connected to both a network and the internet. 
Upon heavy /concurrent/ use of both types of network connections using
a 10 Mbps card and hub, the system loses the connection to both the
network and the internet.  The only solution is to reboot the system. 
Heavy internet loads does not result in losing the connection but it is
possible that very heavy network load does (have not tested that
thoroughly.)

Rick's problem may thus not be related to the laptop or WiFi connection
per se.
