What if a user has an older network configuration with a DNS entry?

We have had several users that had an older network configuration which included U.Va. DNS entries. After removing the DNS entries and changing it to “Get DNS from DHCP server” the quick tip is to disable and re-enable the network card after the change. No logoff or reboot is necessary. Internet Explorer will now take the user straight to the network registration Web page and let the user register. This saves a lot of time not waiting for the reboot or logging on. It also works after the registration. A full login is needed if login scripts need to run.
