actually, in this case, the client is 10.2.8 and the host is 10.3.2.

i can see the connection staying if the network goes down and then back up
(assuming the user didn't try to get anything from the host while the
connection was down), but the host trying to establish a brand new
connection (the connection is new because the host was rebooted) when i
haven't told the client to remember my password seems a little strange...
