A laptop with a single nic is used to connect to 5 separate aircraft systems. Each system has a separate IP address and only one system will ever be connected to the laptop in a single session. I know I can use 5 addresses on a single NIC (a lot more via registry modification) but I wish to choose which IP address to use without restarting the machine - any ideas?

You can create multiple hardware profiles with different NIC addresses, one for each network you'll log onto. Power up the machine, choose the appropriate network hardware profile and you should be in business. I don't know how you can accomplish this without rebooting, though.

Dependant on what exactly you need to switch and what OS you are using MultiNetwork Manager will in most cases allow you to switch without a reboot
