I agree that it would be tedius if you reboot multiple times. The reason I was thinking about this, is that if you used this to change from a static IP at home, to a dynamic one at work. If your home network used the same subnet as at work, then having a low numbered static IP at home (say 192.168.0.10) could cause ip conflicts unless you made sure to not plug it in until you've switched modes. Again, it's probably not an elegant solution, but I was thinking it preferable to user-error..
