Wireless i-net goes caput 20 minutes after bootup

[Urinal Mint]

I set up an HTPC with a spare box I had laying around and have it hiding in a closet connected wirelessly to my network. I boot it up (XP) and I can login remotely just fine... until about 20 minutes after boot. Then, magically, I have zero connectivity from the box. I don't have a monitor connected to this PC.

The setup:
Athlon 1.2GHz
Asus A7V133-C
768mb PC133
Geforce 2
DLink SuperG NIC (DWL-G520)
WinXP SP2
NO monitor hooked up

Now, is there any good explanation of why this machine seems to kick itself off the network after 20 minutes? Connectivity is great beforehand. Should I suck it up and hardwire it into my router instead of using wireless? (sigh)

Thanks!

What kind of router is it connected to and what are the wireless settings?

This sounds like the samething that happened to me and this what Microsoft had me do and it worked:

Go to your Control Panel and click on Administrative tools. Then click on Services at the bottom of the list. Then scroll down to Wireless Zero Configuration and double click that. Under the General tab change Startup Type to Disabled. Apply and click OK

I have it connected with WEP enabled and DHCP. It gets on just fine upon booting up, but after a short while the internet just dies.

I'll give that a whirl... thanks.
