XP tends to 'drop' the odd driver or two now and again. Check the maker of your wireless card for updates to either firmware or software. If you are up to date then it's prolly just 'one of those XP thangs' that we all get at some time or another. If you have recently updated and this has started to happen since then, I would go down the "ROLL BACK DRIVER" route as XP obviously doesn't like the taste of the new driver.
I have had a couple of instances when XP did not pick up the wireless connection when I restarted the computer. Now that I think about it, those two times were when the laptop had sat long enough to go into hibernation. All other times, when it is just coming out of standby, it picks up the wireless connection right off.
go on download.com and search for AC plug by IOPAS. It's this nifty little program that keeps your connection on. I had the same problem and this little wonder corrected it. Try it.

Another one of Uncle Bill's foibles.
