It's probably something obvious - so as I say - apologies if so - but if anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be grateful.
Apologies if you've tried this, but did you disconnect and then reconnect the network after you'd made your changes? I've found that just doing Edit and then Apply does nothing. I always then have to disconnect and reconnect for any changes to take effect.
