Tony: OK that makes sense and is consistant with my experiences. If
logging in then logging out picks up the new DNS, then it makes sense
that reconnecting would also apply the change.
However there was no indication that I should reconnect. I was confused
and thought that the change would apply. I suggest some static text on
the dialog ("Please disconnect then reconnect to apply your changes"),
or a popup dialog with the same text when the DNS changes, or a popup
dialog saying "In order to apply your new DNS settings, your network
must be disconnected then reconnected. Do this now? [Yes] [No]
[Cancel]", or something similar.
To have nothing happen (i.e. the way it is now), just leads to user
confusion.
