NT VNC loses remote

[Erdely, Michael]

Um.  You can't do that.  The lease duration is determined by the server.
The lease start time is determined by the client.  Unless you're turning
your computers on at 3 AM, it won't work that way.  Besides, MS
implementation of DHCP has the clients attempt to renew leases halfway
through the lease anyway.

If you can, i'd recommend reconfiguring the lease so that it is renewed
every 24 hours at a "dead of night" time such as 3am.  This should
alleviate re-leasing problems even if NT decides to barf all the time.
