I've seen this problem as well.  Just haven't had a chance to try and look into
it.  The only info I have so far is that I'm behind a NAT'd firewall w/ port
forwarding configured.  The firewall box has a static IP so I have my IP
configured in gnunet.conf.  Changing HELOEXPIRES in my gnunet.conf config
appears to affect the amount of time it takes for me to drop to 0 connected
hosts.  When logging is turned up I seem to remember that there were messages
like every second or so saying that the IP had changed and trying to start new
sessions.  I would think this causes other nodes to eventually start ignoring me
Maybe it's comparing my machines IP w/ the IP in the config, which will, of
course, always be different in this setup.

Maybe I'll get some time to look at it this weekend.
