Dropped Connections??

Post by softworks »

Why is it when I play a game online as a server, people drop after about 5 -10 minutes? It happens when I play Diablo II and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater on PS2.
What I am using:
-Verizon DSL w/ native XP PPPoE
-Windows XP Professional
-1 GHz Pentium III
-256 MB RAM
-IBM NetVista
