I'm not running XP anymore, and have been running wireless for a long time, so I can't remember the exact sequence of things, but at the right-hand end of the strip at the bottom of the screen where the Start button and all the little icons go there should be a little icon which you can click or right-mouse click and which will open a list of connections. Select the connection that represents your modem and choose Disconnect. Same thing to reconnect.
