Is there some kind of firewall or NAT (Network Address Translation) device
between your Windows and Linux machines?

If so, such devices drop connections when they are unused for some
time (to release the resources bound by such potentially dangling 
connections).

We use "keep alive messages" to keep a connection busy and
prevent the drop.
