With screen you could login, start screen, start your job, detach, and the re-attach a few hours later to see the results.
To start screen, just type screen at the command line.
To detach a session, Ctrl-a d
To reattach screen -r
Check out the screen man page for more commands (or just do Ctrl-a ? with screen running)

if this can't be resolved by editing configuration files or making a
change to your router, you could always use the 'nohup' command for your
jobs:
soleus> nohup bigjob
for more info:
soleus> man nohup
