WiFi and WinXP

I've been having a hell of a time trying to maintain a 'net connection, lately. Found a simple (probably very short term) fix at Wired. The helpful article is entitled Windows XP Bedevils Wi-Fi Users. The workaround is found on the second page, at the very bottom; here it is, copy and pasted:

• Go to Control Panel.
• Choose Administrative Tools.
• Select Services. A two-pane window comes up.
• In the right-hand pane, scroll down and click Wireless Zero Configuration.
• Click Stop the Service. A progress bar may come up briefly.
• Click Start the Service. Again, a progress bar may come up.
• Close the Services window. At this point, Fleishman said, the connection should come back.
