Global Network Client Stops Working after 3 minutes exactly. Every time.

Just started last week.

I can connect OK and the connection functions properly for exactly 3 mins.

After 3 minutes, I lose the connection (without the network client actually disconnecting) and I eventually get the message saying that the connection has been lost and it goes through 20 retries before giving an error about missing the heartbeat with the server.

I look at the data transfer display on the global network client interface...and while I see that information is sent upstream...nothing is being sent downstream.

I've tried over wireless...over a cabled connection and it isn't my home network. I've also tried at different locations and I always get booted at exactly 3 minutes. The fact that it is always at 3 minutes leads me to believe it is something with the GNC.

Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix?

TIA.

Here is a sample from my latest logon file:
