   Does your IP change when the renew happens?  TCP connections are keyed   
   off the IP, so a connection can't be maintained across an IP change.   
      
   Normally, a DHCP renewal should retain the same IP, unless the ISP is   
   reorganizing their IP space and the old IP is no longer available.   
      
   Another possibility is that there's a bug in your router, that it clears   
   out its NAT table whenever there's a DHCP renewal, even if the IP hasn't   
   changed.  Make sure you have the latest firmware, and if that doesn't   
   help get a new router.
