On Centos 6.5, I use NM to bring up the VPN to my office, and to disconnect from it.
every now and then I screw up and disconnect the LAN itself instead of the VPN.
once I do that, even after reconnecting to the LAN I'm hosed.
/etc/resolv.conf hasn't been put back to the non-VPN version, so I manually fix that.
but even then I can't get any name resolution.
I'm sure that rebooting IS NOT the right answer, but it's the only one I've come up with that solves the problem.
What should I be doing instead, once the system is in this state?
thanks!

I also use NM and VPN in this way, but I've never had the problem you describe.
I usually just connect to VPN and leave it on.
I've set up the VPN connection so that only company-related traffic goes through VPN, the rest goes directly.

Try doing (as root)
service NetworkManager restart
to restore NM to its intial state. Not an ideal solution (assuming it works), but better than a full reboot.

better late than never: Thanks Liam, but that doesn't work.
I know it's my fault for hitting the wrong disconnect item on the NM menu, but it'd sure be nice to have a less drastic method of recovery.
I'm open to further suggestions.

Gah. I can't type. the subject should be "odd", not "off".
