If you find a way to change the IP on the fly I would like to know too. 
  I had a conflict occur when I bridged two networks in my house.  I 
wasted way to many hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong 
trying to fix an IP address conflict.  I never reboot any of my 
systems.  I am probably on the extreme in this regard but my complete 
disgust for OS's that can't do anything without a three finger salute 
has made me stubborn.
