No router 10 min disconnects

I was experiencing those disconnects at approximately 10 minutes into play, and typically in town.
I am connected straight into my LAN card, so I looked into other options.

I did Windows update. just cuz
I decided to do the basic "Are all my drivers current?" check.
I know my Vid driver is current, but when I went to my Motherboard manufacturer's site I saw that my mobo drivers hadn't been updated since 1/2002!!
I updated these, AGP port, and drivers, sound board, IDE driver, and LAN board, including a BIOS flash. I looked into updating any firmware on my board, but lost interest in that.

On coming back to the game I played a long, embarassingly long, time and did not disconnect at all. I got the "please wait" window several times, but always came back to the game in a few seconds, usually sooner.
So that was good.
I need to try this again, probably tomorrow, during the day to see if it still happens when the server is less populated.
Hope that helps a bit.
