What kind of internet connection do you have? Do you have a wireless network? If so, try plugging in to you router directly.

Do you happen to have any internet security or firewall software? I'm thinking of Norton Internet Security in particular.

If you're running Norton Internet Security, PLEASE DISABLE IT to see if it's interfering with Second Life access. I'm fairly sure it is.
Some residents have told me they couldn't get NIS to stop blocking SL until they uninstalled it...

If this always happens at a pre-determined amount of time (5 minutes from logging in, in this case) I would recommend you look for a setting which references something to the effect of "stateful filtering timeout" or "idle connection delay". Anything to that effect.
One of the downfalls to UDP is that since it is connectionless, it is impossible to properly track state of a stream (especially when many ports are in use which are not symmetrical). A firewall has no method by which to determine if a UDP packet coming in is actually part of the stream initiated by the outgoing request from the client.
I'm not sure if there is a documented port range that SL communication uses, but I would recommend you set up a rule to allow UDP from any port 12000-12100 to your PC port 12000-12100, nolog, quick pass if possible, as well as the reverse (your PC port 12000-12100 to any port 12000-12100). Note that you only need UDP, you do not need TCP on these ports (as best I can tell).
