I strongly suggest placing communication service in its own thread.
Then you could manage connection without having to worry about blocking
timeouts caused by GUI operations.
They will run asynchronously.

Only by coincidence, I suppose.

I suppose, the server dropping connection by timeout. But I'd urge you to
investigate this further.

Please include examples as text/plain attachments, if they are longer than a
