Yes there is (I am not confident of full success)

Using winipcfg and the network dialogue, change the IP, then release then renew the adapter (using winipcfg).

That would probably be the only way, other than that, she will need the 3 finger salute

As in previous answers you can try to bypass restart, but changes will don't have efect until you restart computer.

with your network connected and the system running goto start--run and type in 'winipcfg' then select release all button, then select renew all button. you should see new ip information. no need to reboot. try ur browser a couple of times. all should load.

I have tried many different things and there is no way to do this without rebooting the OS. Sorry I struggled with this for about a year
