Lease time (F.A.O. Chris Pettitt)

These will be a high proportion of the ticket/calls.

I bow to your knowledge on such matters.

Getting a resync without rebooting or power cycling would be the way to find out if you really want to know, but as you may not wish to do that for obvious reasons make a note of your sync speed and keep a careful watch. If/when you see a change in sync speed, checl if the WAN time has been reset.

Yes, that always happens (WAN time reset when sync speed changes).  My sync speed was constant during the 900 odd hours and has never been quite as good since!  I'll try the gateway hop but I have to do that during daylight hours as my SNR drops by about 2dB after dark.

Well you weren't doing too bad then.  I have had longer periods and would have had longer this time if it hadn't been for a power dip coupled with UPS failure 
Gateway hopping dropping PPPoA shouldn't affect your sync but I can understand why you don't want to risk it until daylight.

These? :-
US Trained Rate: 440  kbps
DS Trained Rate: 4010  kbps

Yes those are sync speeds. But your continued quoting of small sections of posts out of context of any problem you are seeing or proposed action on your part, is meaningless, in any event you know you have a dropping connection.
Just sort out your internal wiring as per the thread on that topic.

Thank you.
They are still exactly the same this morning. No drop outs since :Nov 17 11:39:46 and I'm still using the plug-in internal extension.

See my comments on your extension wiring thread.

I tried a disconnect and reconnect (about 5 minutes later).  This did reset the clock but did not appear to attempt a renegotiation of the sync rates.  So I stand by my assertion that I managed a single PPP session lasting around 900 hours, staring in September and finishing at the end of October.  I would say that this evidence supports the assertion that there is no (maximum) lease time associated with a PPP session.

You are "muddying the waters" by taking the problem over to another thread.

Have we proved there is no minimum either? Or should that be a minimum of zero?

[#11]

As far as I'm aware (and as mentioned in my post on page 1 of this thread) there is no minimum lease, you will be assigned a new dynamic IP on each reconnect assuming you don't have a static IP address from us.
If having the same IP address is important you can have a static one for a one off fee.

Yes, thanks; I think I acknowledged your assumption.

[#13]

OK, I was just reasserting it as this thread still seems to be asking the same question?
Also, extending the IP lease time isn't going to stop a disconnection from happening, all that would do is reassign the same IP after you've reconnected.

Were do I find details on this please? It wasn't available last time I looked.
p.s. Looks as if connection has dropped again.

[#15]

It is only available on Extra not on Value
