It would seem that I am still only able to stay connected for 15-20 minutes at a time. I thought I solved the problem but apparently not. If anyone knows how to fix this I would be greatly appreciative. It seems to only affect FFXI, Whenever I am connected to it my computer drops connection, when I am not my computer holds connection fine. Is this a fire wall issue or a port issue? (do I need to reinstall FFXI.) I use steam is it something to do with that?
I thought It was just a network issue originally but I checked it out on saturday and I only lose connection when playing FFXI, It is up all the time otherwise. (also never had this problem before, only since a few weeks ago.)

I had a similar issue a while back. It turned out to be a bad modem. I only noticed it on FFXI, but I think it had to do with when I was surfing the web, it would be idle a lot and go unnoticeable. I only noticed it when I needed a constant connection with something like a game. Not sure this is your problem but I thought I'd throw it out there.
Thats what I thought at first as well, heck my brother even did some test that showed it just dropped after 20 or so minutes however we only ever checked it with FFXI. I checked with EVE the other day just on a whim, and It was able to maintain a connection indefinitely, so it seems to be a problem with FFXI. So I tried playing some other online games, for my PS3, XBOX and PC, 2 of them had connectivity issues, 1 was DUST on the PS3 (could not connect at all to the server, so it could be down it is a Beta game) the other was TF3 on Steam.
So I am thinking that it could be my router (although it is fairly new, the modem is new as well.) something with steam, or that FFXI just has an archaic DC dimension that has very limited recovery period for dropped connections. However since I seem to be experiencing this problem mostly alone, Perhaps ill try just going to my modem without the router and see if the problem persists.
Thank you for you feedback!.
I had an issue with FFXI crashing about the same time frame as you. Is your modem in an open air space? Ours was surrounded by my girls stuffed animals and when I
