I have a similar issue. I do not have Windows Firewall on and I uninstalled Comodo to try to fix the issues.
First off, I uninstalled Comodo because of not being able to use my scanner, so I attempted to reinstall ZoneAlarm. Suddenly my scanner worked. It is a Lexmark 5470 AIO.
However, I am still now experiencing the loss of internet connection after about 10 minutes. Thanks to the OP for suggesting to turn off my firewall, that fixed the issue, but now leaves me without a firewall.
I would like a solution to getting my system back in working order.
I am using Windows Vista 32 Home Premium

Other information
After installing ZoneAlarm again, I allowed everything to pass through (it’s a clean system) and I still have the internet stopping after 10 minutes. I first experienced a problem after trying the Website Authentication. I first noticed the problem connecting to my own web sites, and checked with my host to see if there was an issue. No one else on my network has this problem, as we did not install Comodo products on them. I did check for old restore points, but they seem to be gone.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
