From experience the one thing which windows 7 seems to really fail at is wifi connections. It only seems to appear on older hardware though.
My 5 year old laptop has intermittant problems with the home network as does the clients laptop, the wifes brand new netbook on the other hand doesn't.

Because it is Scoobos...

Do you have a static IP for your laptop? I think this might happen when you drop a connection and some other device poaches the IP address.

Re-entered Wifi details?

Ditched Wifi and tried via Homeplug?
