This is more of a rhetorical comment than a question:
I've noticed that with several network related issues in XP, whether it's a vpn connection, wireless or good old pci nic, sometimes they won't work, or work correctly until I click "OK" on the Local Area Connection properties and reboot.
This is AFTER the device and drivers have already been installed and SEVERAL reboots later, and with all the latest patches, service packs installed.
Is this somekind of lame holdover from the 98 days that still exists in XP? I've seen this behavior in both Home and Pro. An example is the behavior of Ciscos latest VPN client on XP Pro, and I have "fixed" wireless connection problems this way also.
Any comments?

...or someone else will do it for you.
