SSH logs off and Client pptp goes off as well

Hi ,
I am a newbie to unix,linux i have a fedora core 4 linux. I had set it up as a pptp vpn client to a windows pptp server. Everything was working fine. Recently i saw that there were many attempts to hack into the root login using ssh. so i changed the ssh port,the ssh portocol to 2. And changed the root password.

O now notice that the putty ssh session logs me off after a certain period of inactivity,while earlier it didnt. The same goes with the pptp client on the fedora. it disconnects from time to time.

I dont want the ssh to log me off or the pptp connection to go off. Please help what could this issue be.
