Used to have this problem all the time with our old Cisco router at work,
but when we dropped the stupidly expecsive (£13kyear) leased line and moved
to DSL the problem went away. There's also the possibility that your DSL
modem/your ISP/the university's firewall might be filtering out the keep
alive packets as well.
