I have battled this and the problem was not local to my system, but the firewall. It timed out connections after a short time of inactivity and I had to increase that to 90 minutes. It's very likely that a smaller value would have worked, but I didn't spend time messing with it. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
