Group of 6 constantly dropping out

I'm hoping someone can offer some advice.
I played the original BG series years ago with friends using dial-up 56k modems and the game was stable. Recently I persuaded 5 other to buy BGEE (from GOG). We've been trying to get 6 player multiplayer to work well. We've had no problem all connecting via TCP/IP. I've forwarded the main TCP/IP port and it starts off well. But every few minutes someone drops from the game. And it continues throughout the session. Sometimes the drops are only a few minutes apart - sometimes it's fine for 10-15 minutes.
It's really hard to troubleshoot.
Just hoping someone out there has some advice. We're using direct connect via TCP/IP (no match making or virtual LAN setup). Version 1.3 used.
Many thanks in advance for any help,
Steve.
