SSH connection closed

[Ashley M. Kirchner]

    I recently replaced my wireless router.  I'm now using a Linksys 
WRT54G and I noticed that my SSH connections are being closed after 
roughly 10 minutes of idleness.  When I trace my connection, I get this 
just before it closes:

[SSH LOCAL ONLY] : RECV: TCP/IP close
[SSH LOCAL ONLY] : State Change: SSH_STATE_CONNECTION->SSH_STATE_CLOSED
[SSH LOCAL ONLY] : Connected for 607 seconds, 1401 bytes sent, 2231 
bytes received

    Is this something the new router is doing?  Nothing on this machine 
has changed and the connections getting closed started happening after 
the new router was installed.  Is anyone else on the list use the same 
router and tell me if it's doing the same to you?

    By the way, the same thing happens with my SMTP connection.  If 
Thunderbird happens to be set to check e-mail every 15 minutes, after 10 
minutes the connection gets closed and Thunderbird has to reconnect again.

    Thanks.
