depends if you are running commercial ssh or openssh on your server

if you are using openssh, make changes in your /etc/sshd_config
see directives:

ClientAliveInterval
ClientAliveCountMax
KeepAlive

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd

also look into the openssh.org mailing archives about patches to fix this
problem...
