Dear Ken,

My question is asking you why one would want to change an IP address in such a manner when there are so many things that factor into this that the end user does not have control over?

Thanks,
Jane

You could always do a shell out from your program to launch ifconfig with the required settings to change the ip address.

You can do this in Terminal.
Code: 
sudo ifconfig en1 inet 192.168.0.1
And I imagine you can run a shell script via cocoa.

Thanks: Jane, blaster_boy & lancestraz:

Yes, shell script can work.
