Getting booted off servers

[hard_boiled1101]

I can join games fine, but after anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes (seems totally random), my framerate suddenly goes down and I get a screen that says 'Connection failed.'
I have the latest Patch and Punkbuster installed, and I'm running on a cable connection. I also have a router, but I've never had any connection problems with other games.

Try disabling udp/tcmp flood protection or your complete firewall?

Don't know what that means.
I read somewhere that I have to open ports or something...what is that?
