I'm getting this error when using Putty:

Server unexpectedly closed network connection

I think there is a problem with the network in my office because all computers at my work workplace have the same problem. How can I fix this?

If this error happens after a while that you are connected to the host, probably in your work network have some router periodically closing the connections, a workaround for this is keep your terminal busy, running something like top when you are away, but remember this creates a security breach.

Basically your connection is being closed by inactivity, if you just keep something running in your terminal, is more likely that it doesn't close the connection, I mean by something running as the terminal screen being refreshed constantly, if you run a Linux box, type the command top, that shows the box load and refreshes every 5 seconds.
