No, you don't need to reinstall. In fact, you don't even need to reboot after changing your IP address.

What distro are you running? If redhat or mandrake (may work on other distros too), su to root and type "netconfig" from the prompt. This is probably the easiest way to change your IP. Then restart networking (on redhat and mandrake it's "/etc/init.d/network restart") and you should be set.

If you can't get this to work, look for linuxconf.

In SuSE you login as root, open YaST (1) and go to Administration -> Network -> Basic Settings (or something like that, I always use the German version), select the NIC you want to change the IP for, press F6 and enter the IP. Then confirm twice.
