Running two games on one ISP connection

Ok, here's the deal..My wife and I both play Freelancer. We have two systems and are using a router to share the internet connection. When we connect to the FreeLancer server that my group hosts we can play for about 10 to 15 mins and then we get dropped. We can go right back in but the same thing happens.

I've read thru lots of the server forums and have gotten some numbers for the bandwidth needed for the server, but how about for the players?

I have a 4meg dl speed and sustained 512K upload, never had this problem with other games and was wondering if anyone might have some insight to my problem.

Definition: b = bit
So for two gaming sessions you need 100 kbps downstream and you can neglate up stream. As for the disconnects could be a lot of different reasons (HINTS: 1st. Ask you ISP, 2nd. Ask your server admin).
