OK well the answer is if your using dhcp which i dont think you are because you never said that you are screwed well maybe. But since i think you aren't here is what to do. This does involve editing the registry on a 9x machine. DONT DO THIS IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT YOUR SKILLS ITS NOT THAT TRICKY YOU CAN JUST BLOW YOUR OS IF YOU DONT KNWO WHAT YOU ARE DOING. that said start run regedit enter. Now go to key ...HKLM\system\curentcontrolset\services\class\net rans\000* the astrict being difrent numbers from 0 on up. The nettrans folder holds all network configes in windows. By looking in each of these files in one you will see a key that has a item that simply says ip address and shows the ip to the left right click the string modify it and exit registry walla its changed. thats it.
