I connected last night and was on for 5 hours before it kicked me.

The only thing I did was turn my computer on and left it for an hour before connecting to the VPN. I wonder if the temporary initial lease of 1 hour on ntl ip addresses changing in to the 24/48 hour fixed IP has anything to do with it. I know this is meant to be seamless but only time will tell if my connection times are longer as a result of this.

I am sure one of you guys are gonna tell me this is completely illogical and I have just been lucky.

ps I have given up on my IT guys they clearly dont know what they are on about.
