This appears to be a problem (feature?) with @Home. The trick is to
set cron to renew your connection at regular intervals, like every
five minutes. Kcron is a good tool to do this (as root, of course).
Simply make an entry using your dhcp initialisation line (e.g.
"/sbin/dhcpcd -d -n -h COxxx-A eth0") and fill in the rest.

Hi All!
Okay, first of all, things are looking pretty good. I have my
rogers@home Terayon cable modem working with dhcp, and I have
ipchains masquerading my 3 windows boxes. The one remaining problem
has to do, apparently, with dhcpcd. After a few hours, the
connection gets dropped. I assume this happens when the lease
expires. Problem is, dhcpcd doesn't reconnect me, and the only way I
can seem to get reconnected is to unplug the cablemodem and reboot.
Surely there is a way to stay connected. Any help on this would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
