Greetings Andrea,
The first thing to do is to try using Windows Live Messenger 8.x instead. Windows Messenger
4.x is essentially the original code and protocol from 2001 in XP. One of the many things
fixed over the years was the ability to stay connected in a variety of different networking
environments (although it's still not 100% fixed in every situation).
You can grab Windows Live Messenger to try here:

The only real thing you can check if you wish to continue to use 4.7 is that you have the
latest firmware for your router (assuming you're using one) or uninstall any software
third-party firewall you might have installed (to determine if it's the problem).

Can I extend the period of time before the program automatically signs me
out? I am frustrated by conversations being stopped because of this problem.
The window of time that I am considered logged in without any activity seems
to be about 15 minutes. I would like to extend this but can't figure how to
do it.
Thanks for any assistance.
