this is deffo a client side problem, it sounds like power saving features to me or some other setting in windows xp wifi stack that disconnects you from the access point if your idle for a certain amount of time.
update wifi card drivers or possibly try a different wifi card, if you have usb wifi adapter test it out, or better yet test out a different laptop running newer operating system.
if you were getting disconnections while using the connection then it could be a access point issue, but since its working fine for you with the script running then its no problem with the access point.
