kioclient log showing problem

SUMMARY

Accessing a sftp host on the LAN by name sometimes fails in Dolphin and
kioclient

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a computer with a permanent DHCP lease and a assigned name (ysalm-wifi)
on the router's local DNS config
2. Power it on and also power on another computer (say local)
3. Do things on local, including sshing to ysalm-wifi.
4. Set ysalm-wifi to suspend.
5. Do things on local.
5. Power ysalm-wifi back up.
6. On local, in Dolphin or kioclient, navigate to sftp://ysalm-wifi.


OBSERVED RESULT

Get "No route to host" message.

EXPECTED RESULT

Accessing the host.
