sorry i only got to read this now.

Install the utility "screen"

login with putty, run screen, then start your server as normal

press <ctrl>-a (relase) then hit 'd' you will detach the screen and be back to a normal command prompt and you can close putty.

when you log back into the server run 'screen -r' to reconnect so you will be in the server console.
