Prevent AirPort disconnects on sleep
Authored by: mivok on Feb 24, '04 06:33:25PM

I have noticed that after waking from sleep, some network connections are still active! Most notable are ssh connections on the terminal (I just continue typing where I left off).
The only way I can think this works is because I am behind a NAT connection, keep the same IP address between Airport reconnects, and the connection doesn't time out (The ADSL router keeps the conneciton open on my behalf). I could be wrong on the reasons though, all I know is its a really nice feature for when taking your computer into the next room or upstairs, just close it and move without losing network connecitons.
