Mia, one think you may want to try is to set the keepalive settings in putty.  Look under settings->Connection.  That setting will send a packet to the server every X num of seconds to keep the connection from timing out.

I use putty with windows 7 64 bit and don't need that option, but I'm on the same network as the millennium server, if you have any firewalls/routers between your machines and the server they might be timing out inactive connections.
