Are you sure that it is your node that is doing the disconnecting? There 
are several programs out there, for instance, that connect, send a spot 
and then disconnect.

Then there are some routers out there that really are not very good, 
especially doing reverse NATing from an internet address to some local 
address in the 192.168.x.y range. They seem to lose track of the NATing.

What sort of router are you using?

Check your default filters, do:

sh/filter node_default
sh/filter user_default

Done, please connect to gb7djk.dxcluster.net port 7300.
