Barring mechanical problems, you might check to see if your IP drops 
you deliberately after so many minutes. Also check to see if that 
location has an auto-disconnect time. I can see that X.2.2 is kinda 
brain dead in that regard since it acts as if there is no activity even 
though I am surfing and downloading.
