You havent got your router configured properly. It has never dropped for me in the 2 to 3 years I have been using it. I am quite shocked by that. I think you need to open up the ports on your router.

Mmm thats probably why, I think the inbuilt firewall is kicking your connection. I have not used one of those before so I wouldnt be able to help you open up the ports.
But basically that is whats required for that software and unless you know someone that knows how to configure the ports on that baby you wont have much luck with Nicecast.
UPDATE:
Actually this might help,

Router Port Mapping/Port Forwarding/Virtual Server Overview (Example using AirPort Base Station)
1. Open up the admin software on your router. For an AirPort Base Station, you'll use the AirPort Admin Utility, found in /Applications/Utilities.
2. Find the port mapping configuration panel (which may instead be named port forwarding or virtual servers, depending on your router). In Airport Admin Utility, select your Base Station, click Configure, then click the Port Mapping tab.
3. Add a new port mapping to the machine on your LAN which is doing the broadcasting. You'll need to map public port 8000 to private port 8000, on the machine's LAN IP. In AirPort Admin Utility, click Add, put port 8000 in the two port fields and the IP of the machine which will be broadcasting in the Private Address field. Click Ok, then click Update. Note that this forwarding only needs to be TCP, you can leave UDP alone.
Details
A router takes traffic from the Internet and sends it to your LAN. The machine which is running Nicecast needs to receive all the requests for port 8000 (by default) which are coming in from the Internet. Port forwarding/port mapping/virtual servering allows this traffic to go where it's needed, so listeners can connect to your stream.
Note: UPnP and NAT-PMP Routers
Many newer routers support UPnP (Universal Plug-And-Play) and NAT-PMP (Network Address Translation Port Mapping Protocol), which allow software to configure the router automatically. If UPnP or NAT-PMP is on, Nicecast will configure the router for you. To determine if your router supports UPnP, please check the router's documentation (as well as this page). You may need to enable UPnP on the device - again, see the router's documentation for more information.
