Indeed. Upon login the GUI stores the contents of the "System" Object in 
your session data to prevent us from re-fetching the same damn Object on 
every bloody GUI page we visit. After all: We need the data in it all 
the time to present the pages.

But naturally this has the side effect that if the admin changes 
anything in the "System" Object in CCEd your existing session continues 
with the session stored data until you log out and log back in.

As this is undesirable I have already some provisions in places where we 
save an the updates modify the System Object. Apparently I forgot to use 
them on the TCP/IP page.

I'll look at it and will publish a fix. Many thanks for bringing that up!
