Issue with network and auto-sleep (or something related)

[bxbaxton]

Hi, I'm a bit new to this Linux thing, but not so much on security and others but my problem is this, I could configure my wireless fine and everything works great, except that if I don't touch the computer for 30 mins. (aprox.) the connection stop working and I have to set it up again.
The commands used to configure the network are:

ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid (network)
iwconfig wlan0 key (wep)
dhclient-r wlan0
dhclient wlan0

That's it.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe your router is disconnecting you due to inactivity.
It might even be considered a safety feature.
As it is this is really not telling us a lot.

Hi, sorry, I know what the problem is, its just the dhclient renewal option like:

Listening on LPF/wlan0/00:24:2c:92:20:93
Sending on   LPF/wlan0/00:24:2c:92:20:93
Sending on   Socket/fallback
DHCPREQUEST of 192.168.1.68 on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPREQUEST of 192.168.1.68 on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPACK of 192.168.1.68 from 192.168.1.254
bound to 192.168.1.68 -- renewal in 34851 seconds.

and i dont know how to change it.
Thanks
