This is a known Vista bug.
I face this issue whenever I visit my parents and have to use wireless. My laptop is on Vista and my dad's laptop is on XP. My dad's comp is connected to the internet by cable. So suspecting that his comp was denying access to mine, I did the following on HIS comp:
1. Clicked on Network and Sharing Center.
2. Clicked on Manage Network Settings.
3. Right-clicked on the wireless connection and then chose Properties.
4. Clicked on the Sharing tab and marked the first checkbox to allow other users to connect to the Internet using "this computer's Internet connection".
It doesn't make sense but this workaround always works for me and is an instant fix.
The weirdest thing is that when the connection drops again, the reverse/toggle (i.e. removing the check) also restores the connection instantly.
