Check the wireless utility that came with the computer's wireless card.
(BTW it's usually better to use this than Windows "Wireless Zero
Configuration", although WZC improved considerably in SP2).

There should be a setting for "roaming aggressiveness".  Set it as low
as possible.

There may be other settings you can change, but this is the only one I
see on my wireless laptop, using an Intel 2200BG wireless card
(internal, built-in as part of the "Centrino" platform).

Setting a static IP will not help.  The wireless utility isn't aware
what IP has been set and will go out looking for another wireless AP
regardless of the IP address the PC is using.
