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.

Even with a lease time of just an hour (which *is* ridiculously
short), there shouldn't be that kind of a problem.

The PCs should request a lease renewal each half hour, and since it's
an active lease the DHCP server should just renew it for another hour
each time.
