oracle10g - How can I keep Oracle SQL Developer from closing the DB connection?

Question

Is there any way to keep Oracle SQL Developer from closing my DB connections, or to increase the timeout? Sometimes during a long-running query SQL Dev will just close the connection, leaving my query running on the server but me with no results. If I RDP into the server and run SQL Dev locally it never seems to have this problem.

This doesn't sound like an issue with SQL developer, cetainly I've never come across it. Are you sure it's not something else, like your network? What happens if you connect from SQL plus from your desktop.
