Because if you have 15 minutes idle the system disconnects you and your
system has to reauthenticate before being back on the network.  Hence an
inbound connection can't happen unless you are already authenticated and
on the network.  I guess you could probably write something to poke a
website or something every 5 minutes, and if it fails, run a script to
reauthenticate again.  Still seems stupid to have to do that.

The dynamic IP is indeed a minor problem.
