My apologies for being a little OT but am curious about the use of the term "Stale Session" which was given to me when asking my ISP why I had suddenly lost access to my mailbox and the web with my ADSL account.
A "Stale Session" normally refers to the ISP terminating the session but the modem will not give up the IP address. This happens when the modem is not controlled by a router and set to keep alive. Once the ISP terminates a session for a IP the same ID can not log back in on that IP. It normally only takes a few minutes to reset the modem when power has been totally removed from the unit.
The advice was to turn off my Mac and ADSL modem, wait 30 minutes and restart. It didn't do the trick but turning it off overnight did!
The reason it took so long was for normal circuit decay. Had you totally removed power from the unit, 30 minutes should have been more than enough time for the circuit to decay and reset to default.
