I had similar problems with connecting my Pocket PC to my desktop PC. Not
all USB ports are created equal and some have a hard time dealing with
current loads up around the 500 mA design maximum for a USB port. As the
port I was using was on a 'elderly' 2000 motherboard and was only UISB 1.1
spec, I fitted a quality NEC chipset USB 2.0 Hi-Speed PCI adapter card.
Since then the difference has been like night to day and I haven't had a
single unwanted disconnection. I'm now able to enable the 'use advanced
network' functionality in my device and when it's plugged into the USB port,
it now shows up like a LAN card in the system tray and I can see data
transfer graphically represented.

What USB port is it plugged into and do you get the same disconnections when
test plugging it into other machines (with Activesync or WMDC installed as
reqd)? Have you considered a 'quality' USB 2.0 upgrade card?

Hi,
Also, you can try turning off charging via USB. Beyond that you may want to
try another USB port. Finally if you have a hub, try connecting the Windows
Mobile device directly to your PC.
