   Yes and Windows 2000 too.  What probably has gotten better are =
applications that register to be notified of network configuration =
changes and respond so that they don't need to be restarted.  =
NotifyAddrChange and NotifyRouteChange, two such APIs, were introduced = in
Windows 2000.

   I'm curious why George had to reboot unless he was running a third =
party network service that did not include support for address changes.

  Does that also apply to Server 2003?  Because that would solve one
  important issue I have at work.
