Touch Pro causes wireless on laptop to disconnect when connected via USB

[profroopchan]

Every time I connect my Touch Pro to my laptop, my wireless signal gets disconnected. Last night I realize that I see the data transfer arrows transferring data while this happen. I think somehow something on the Pro is stealing the wireless connection from the Laptop. When I go into Connectivity Manager on the TP, the Wireless LAN is grayed out while it is connected to my laptop.

I am thinking that it is a setting on my phone which is set to update whenever I connect to the active sync. I am running Windows XP SP3. I have a built in wireless on my laptop.

Has anyone experienced this before? What do you guys suggest?
