What about WINS, DNS and Gateway settings?  These will all need to be
changed as well.

There's a util at http://www.netswitcher.com/ which
may help.  Never used
it, so don't know if it's any good.

Keith,

You should be able to do this :

Open regedit, then find the following key :


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\NetTrans\xxxx\IPA
ddress

xxxx will be a 4 figure number, and there may be more than one of them (one
for each network device? card, modem etc)

Export this key to your desktop, make a copy of it, then edit the copy,
entering whatever IP address you want. When you double click on the one you
want, and it should change your IP address. You shouldn't even need a
reboot either, though ymmv.

I know I don't need to point out that changing the registry can be
dangerous, so insert a standard disclaimer the clears me of any blame here.
