I need to be able to dynamically change the LOCAL MACHINE IP address.

I can change the name of the local machine in the Windows 2000 Control panel, but i need to be able to change the IP address itself.

If this requires a hardware alteration, then i need to know what component changes are needed, but if there is anyone who can provide this in C++ or Visual Basic. I would be grateful.

if anyone knows any means of detecting an outgoing local IP (by way of a breakout box or similar) i would be grateful for that info too.
