Re: Telnet and DHCP?

[Kirk Goins <kirkgoins@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had a site with  Cisco ASA firewall that was handling the DHCP for a
small site. The default lease was like 1hr or some such crazy length. The
PCs with Windows 7 were dropping telnet sessions a couple times a day.
Found this with WireShark. The PCs were getting new addresses whcih of
course confused the iiSeries.  Set the lease to a much long tine and the
problem went away.

So Yes it can happen, should it no...
