I started hosting on a linux based VPS instead of my devbox (xp) and now my session (client) gets dropped after an hour or so. Is that normal? This never happened to me when I hosted on XP but I was also running the clients on the same box.

That's not normal, no. The high-level networking code, particularly that which handles dropping clients, is exactly the same in the Linux versions as it is in Windows. The low-level code obviously differs but that shouldn't be subject to random disconnects. I'd look at either the server machine's configuration or the network as your culprit.
