I've been having a similar problem, afaict since I moved my server to 5.2-RELEASE from 4.8-RELEASE and to a EPIA 5000 board (from a Pentium system). I've not had a disconnection while I've been actively using the connection but most connections that are left idle get disconnected after a while (seems to be around 10 to 15 minutes). This happens consistently at the moment from my development system which can be running any of 5.2-RELEASE, Windows 98SE or Windows 2000 and has been seen to occur on another couple of systems. My suspicions currently lie with the on-board network adapter on the EPIA board using the vr driver but I have no direct evidence to support it, other than I don't recall ever seeing it with my old server.
