This may be due to activity in your network... often dns lookup
activity.  If your client machines don't have all of the local computers
in their hosts file, they will fall back to dns.  Most LRP disks did not
implement dns servers, so often this would lead to external lookups.  If
the lookup activity occurs periodically, the connection may never go down.

Downloading the Bering Installation Guide and Bering User's Guide, and
following the instructions therein, should be quite practical.
