Increasing the timeouts might not help since an inactive session will not cause any traffic. It might be wise to just configure ssh/sshd to send keep-alives.
If the keep-alive thingy doesn't work out for you, you could still tunnel some arbitrary port through the connection and send a syn every once in a while into the tunnel. This should do it, too.
is the site that you are connecting from being masqueraded? i noticed way back when when i had a system in that situation that i had the same issue. the keep alive option should help remedy the problem. if the site is directly connected, i'm at a loss. i've never experienced that problem w/ ssh when there was no masq involved. -Jae ** "I'm very drunk and I intend on getting drunker before it's over." -Clark Gable, Gone with the Wind
