ichat client get disconnected

I have ichat client on both leopard and tiger and they all get disconnected at some point in the day, all pretty much at the same time. I'm thinking it's either the server that disconnects everybody or there is some time limit from the client side, I don't know. I have the standard server configuration, everybody has a static IP from our provider, no extra firewall but the one provided by the system, no gateway on the server either and the server is running it's ichat server I think with the kerberos authentication. Can I change that with the standard install and set it to name and password? In documentation, it says that kerberos gives a ticket for a period of time, how long? Can I tell it to be unlimited? All macs are always on, they don't go to sleep because of backups during the night. On my computer, I quit ichat with a script loaded in ical, at 7pm, and relauch it at 8 am, but I too, get disconnected around 10am. So I'm not sure that the time limit is the issue either.

Anybody else having this problem with Leopard server 10.5.2?

I am having a similar issue, could you check your ichat log and see if you see any messages similar to the one's I am getting?
