So, I just implemented a trihomed ISA Server on Windows 2003 Server. In the process, I started to use the DHCP server on my DLink 900AP+ WAP because the WiFi segment lies within a LAT based DMZ. Meg has been complaining ever since then that she kept getting logged off. I went as far as moving the WAP, changing the channel, and she kept getting kicked off.
I came to me after noticing in the log files of the WAP, that the IP address lease from DHCP was 1 hour. Sure enough, she was getting kicked every hour when the address lease expired, and the wireless NIC requested a new one. Of course now Meg is saying that it is something I did. I said it's something I didn't, and let's leave it at that. Oh, BTW, the lease time is now 1 week.
