My computer's wireless internet is being wierd?

I have a pretty much brand new Macbook, and about every 2 or 3 minutes, without telling me, my internet just stops working. My airport still says i have good internet, and everything looks normal, but i know that i no longer have internet because it wont load anything and after a bit it says "diagnose problem", also my messenger logs out because there is no internet server.

If i restart my airport it is fixed for about 2 or 3 minutes and then it happens again.

Please help me cause i can do anything in 3 minute incraments, thanks in advance

(btw, i use belkin, if that helps at all)

Update:

i am sitting directly next to the router

Update 2:

my ipod has no troubles like this....i think its my laptop

    it sounds like its either a server problem, or perhaps an issue with your wireless access point. i dont think its your laptop (from the detail you gave.) If you can try resetting the access point by unplugging it for a couple minutes. if that doesnt work, call your service provider to see if there is a network server issue in your area

    Normally it is due to the router signal strength or electrical interference from appliances in your home.

    Try moving closer to the router/airport, check your signal strength, move farther away until it shows low, this is the max you can be from router and still at times you will loose the connection.
