Re: SSH and Client Lease Time?

Notice the output ends when the new lease was acquired. Too much of a

I imagine though that it kept the same IP address, there being no
contending system and it already having the lowest address.

I thought perhaps there's a session number of something that does
change when the connection renews, but who knows.

In my experience, windows systems drop established connections very
quickly (instantly?) if the network is reset. I do not think it normal
for a network reset to accompany a dhcp renewal.

My current (XP) computer is sitting on a network with 2 hour leases, and
the ssh windows on in have been up for about a week. So they've likely
survived close to 200 renewals at this point (presumably no expirations,
though).
