In most cases that I've found you don't even need DNSClient running.  
AFAIK it's only function is to cache DNS requests.  On most small 
networks DNS queries take so little time you'll never notice the 
difference.  In fact in environments where there are frequent changes it 
can actually create issues.  As an alternative, IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS 
would/should accomplish the same thing as the stop/start solution.
