this could be a number of things...
proxies/firewalls in the IP path setting TTL, dropping idle connections,
etc. to ensure no one person is "hogging" resources -- this is
particularly important at univsersities for obvious reasons.
software like idled on the remote server could do similar things, but
the fact that you receive an RST (I assume, from the "reset by peer"
message -- what's a sniffer show?) seems to imply it is almost certainly
a proxy or firewall imposing "policy". has your friend asked the
admin(s) of glowlight? :)
