Many networking appliances that do NAT close connections after a period 
of inactivity.  This period usually ranges from 30 to 120 minutes, and 
may not be adjustable.  This is why I have keepalive.sh in my ~/bin/ :

#!/bin/sh
while true ; do
    echo -n '.'
    sleep 300
    done

...start whatever's going to take a long time in the background, then 
start keepalive.sh in the foreground, connection won't drop.

Check the mysql DB for the last row in the dump you were loading, of 
course.
