If you are in an apartment, cordless phones may be to blame. I recently got a new phone, and it apparently interferes with my wireless setup whenever I use it. If someone is on the phone (just the cordless phone) I lose my wireless connection. It comes back when we hang up the phone.
Also the signal strength is very variable in my apartment as well. Wiring, a transformer outside my window, and a fuse box between my computer and the router all seem to have an effect on the link quality of my laptop.
Strange things can also cause very local interference that could kill your connection to one computer but leave another connection along. Check any power cables, transformers, lights, cd-rom drives, and tv's that are near the computer that keeps crapping out on your. They may be causing the problem (think about all those warnings about using ordinary electronics on airplanes).
Good luck,
Greg
