I have seen similar problems if ICMP is blocked..
On my LAN, putty sessions live forever.
They connect via the internet, could it make a difference? And, how
can I check if ICMP is blocked?
Now I have made a test from Unix machines using ssh (the program), I
did not experience the same problem so it might be with putty and/or
with company firewall/user's ISP.

Yes it makes a difference, since the internet is less reliable than a
local LAN. in /etc/ssh/sshd_conf enable TCP_KEEVALIVE (or something like
that), and in Putty > Connection > tick Enable TCP_keetalives
This will help quite a bit, but still can't compensate for packet loss
on the internet, for example your ISP, or one of the many routers (do
tracepath from the one machine to the other to see how many there are)
could have intermittent problems. I know ADSL isn't a guaranteed service
in our country, so some days my SSH sessions will stay open for days at
end (even with the quick ADSL reset), but other times it resets often
